asterisk users - Jun 2008 - Maximum number of SIP peers in Asterisk 1.4

Dear all, I have Asterisk 1.4.13 as a SIP server for my company with 100
peers (I mean users)  and everything work fine.

I have the following question: what is the maximum number of peers that
I can reach with Asterisk ??? I know Asterisk is not a SIP server
basically like OpenSER, so I'm confused.

Thanks a lot,

Alejandro

Well, the number of peers that you can reach is infinite.

But the number of peers you can have in memory is limited of your  
system.
With 1.4 there's also incremental time for the in-memory lookups for  
every
sip message, something that Steve Murphy totally changed for 1.6.

I don't know the limit for in-memory peers, but I have successfully  
configured
a system for 5000 in-memory peers. Not active  with registrations and
calls, but still in memory.

The issue you want to handle when configuring Asterisk for your company
is not really the number of devices, but the number of simultaneous  
calls
and participants in conferences.
