asterisk users - Sep 2008 - What is in practice the maximum no of simultaneous calls that Asterisk 1.4 can handle

I have heard it said that, Asterisk falls over at 100 simultaneous calls. Is
this true?

Thanks

Shaun

Hello!
   I've recently heard from one person, doing more than 500 calls. I'm
sure it
depends a lot on the server-computer(s) and the peripheral hardware 
(ISDN-cards, network-cards, etc.).
   I must pass, when it comes to more detail or other practical results.
   Kindest regards
         Julien

No.

google "asterisk dimensioning"

There is a LOT of dimensioning "info" out there.
Mostly really old, based on anecdotal info as opposed to solid, 
standardized metric testing such as TP-C, TP-B, TP-C type work.
Dimensioning is one area that appearers really lacking on Asterisk that 
you do have on
brand Name VOIP.

Where did you hear this?

Consulting for Asterisk, Polycom, Sangoma, Digium, Cisco, LAN, WAN, QoS, 
T-1, PRI, Frame Relay, Linux, and network design.  Based near 
Birmingham, AL.  Now accepting clients worldwide.

Indirectly it comes from DIGIUMS Very Strong Advice not to put more than 
1 QUAD T1 card in a * box
regardless of the size/power/configuration of the  box.
As TDM  is generally one of the more straight forward and widely used 
protocols
for VOICE, it is not totally unreasonable the logical conclusions one 
could draw from that limitation.
Mind you, those conclusions are not necessarily Valid, but, in absence 
of Standardized Work Load Metrics for provisioning it is sort of a 
amorphous gray area
