[asterisk-users] MeetMe CPU resources

Hello,

We would like to have a conference with 15 users aprox. We think that
Pentium 4 3GHz and 1GB of RAM should be enough. Only Asterisk running.

We wonder if somebody has some other experience, good or bad.

We will use Asterisk 1.2 (it is a small and short project for only
this).

Thanks!

I'd consider that over-kill (Means it'll work fine).

We've used a Pentium 3 866mhz with 512mb memory and have had up to 10 in 
a conference without any issues.

It will depend on whether you are using VoIP or a PRI card.

I have a number of systems that have a single Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHz (with HT),
1GB RAM and a 4xE1 PRI card (TE410P), and they regularly have conferences
with up to 90 participants. I would expect them easily to handle the full
120 if needed. We are not using echo cancellation.

Using VoIP will consume more CPU due to the networking overhead, and even
more if you are transcoding a compressed codec.

However, with the spec of your machine, you should be ok with 15 users
even using VoIP and compressed codecs.

Cheers
Tony

Your configuration should be more than sufficient. I think (gut feel, no 
hard stats) I get better audio in conferences with more than 10 users on 
hosts that have a hardware (Digium) timer.

Just a couple of data points...

[asterisk-users] MeetMe CPU resources

Hello,

First of all: also thanks to Doug Lytle and Steve Edwards. Just
answering one time to all of you.

I had the feeling that this computer, for 15 Meetme users, was more than
enough... but we wanted to avoid any last-minute surprises! Now we are
more sure that everything will work fine.

Ah yes, we will use VoIP, without transcoding (I hope!), without Digium
Timer card (but I will check, just in case we need it)

Wow, 90 participants. Do you use just MeetMe in Asterisk?
Just for curiosity: All of them can talk to conference? or only some of
them?
I thought about it, and for me, 90 "open microphone" participants
looks
like some white noise :-) Not tried here... just wondering how do you
do.

Thanks!
