Hi, I'm wondering what version of asterisk people use in production environnement ? on which distribution ? And what is your setup like ? We are actually running an AsteriskNow appliance with asterisk 1.4.18.1 and it's quite unstable. We have ~30 IAX2 SoftPhones and encounter some "Avoiding IAX destroy deadlock" and now that we have added a Queue, it's worse than ever. The queue goes stuck quite often (agent are stuck in 'In use' state and if they logoff they can't log-in till an asterisk restart). regards

I constantly hear "Asterisk 1.4.whatever is much better, but the bugs coming out are not just unexpected behavior that one could live with, they are segfaults, system crashes, modules not getting installed (Zaptel). I use SIP since I have seen quite a few issues with IAX2 that were solved by simply switching to SIP. The above two yield solid systems under heavy load for me. OS is not so important I do not believe. I have some running FC8 and more running CentOS, both rock solid. I think the general consensus on OS is use what you are most familiar with. While these may not be popular opinions, I still ask, what does SwitchVox use? What do some of the guys around here that setup large systems use? Is ABE even using 1.4 yet? All I see in the ABE release notes is 1.2 although I have heard that ABE should be running 1.4 "Very Soon" many many moons ago http://www.digium.com/en/docs/ABE/README . So either Digium doesn't trust 1.4 enough to use it for ABE or the README is out of date. Thanks, Steve Totaro

Mostly SIP, some of my clients have queues and everything is working fine by now.

I think you will confirm what is pretty much a silent consensus (even among Digium Devs). Thanks, Steve Totaro

Our calls do last extended periods of time, especially when there are conferences. No call ques, and we do realtime voicemail,sip and iax to allow tennants web interfaces into the system through the standard 3 tiers.
We are using Asterisk 1.4.13 in production, were we have almost 30 SIP users on a Asterisk box, we are also using IAX to communicate between main Asterisk server and the other. we use Queues, Conference too.

Hello, Our company did 200+ installations around the globe and had no issues with stability with correct Asterisk version. We used most of 1.4. As far as I remember 1.4.16 has some nasty bugs along with 1.4.19.x (SIP + realtime). So current stable is 1.4.18.1 (for us). For load check: http://wiki.kolmisoft.com/index.php/How_fast_MOR_can_perform It shows how our billing application performs on top of Asterisk (2049 channels) and we can push it even further with some improvements. We DO NOT RESTART our Asterisk installations daily or weekly. They work for months.

There's another thread on this. - Julian
