Hi All, Just a little over thought. Sorry if someone already asked about this before. Is it possible to put all 16 Ports of E1 in One Asterisk Server ? And if it's not possible is there any suggestion or alternative for me to use more than 320 lines of outgoing calls on One Asterisk Server ? Thanks ZH -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20101222/80ca8f73/attachment.htm>

In general the issue is raised about having "all your eggs in one basket" where one server or hardware failure can drop all of your lines for a period of time. External solutions like Xorcom and Redfone are great ways of abstraction. The concurrent call load on a server relies on the work to be done on each call. If you are using multiple codecs and recording the calls in another file format with other complex dialplan or AGI scripts then one server may not handle the calls well. If everything is ALAW and just dialing though then this would not be a problem for one server. If you search the list for "sizing" "concurrent" and "load" you will find more information. One very nice thing is that testing is very easy with or without the E1 hardware, try running the TDMoE channels between two servers and run a SIPp or other test to see the issues in a lab. ~~~ Andrew "lathama" Latham lathama at gmail.com ~~~

Hi All, Just a little over thought. Sorry if someone already asked about this before. Is it possible to put all 16 Ports of E1 in One Asterisk Server ? And if it's not possible is there any suggestion or alternative for me to use more than 320 lines of outgoing calls on One Asterisk Server ? Thanks ZH =========================== The general answer is "Yes, maybe". I suggest you look at the Xorcom.com website for their load test data. Using a well sized server with "best practice" tweaks is important. It appears that bigger is not always better. For instance it seems to hurt or at least give no benefit to use a quad core processor. We just ran tests that indicates Xorcom's "3000" model would handle 16 CAS T1s. CAS T1s produce a very high interrupt rate. PRI T1s don't cause nearly as high rate. The right choice of cache, motherboard, processor and "tweaks", are essential. You would be "leading the pack". I think. .Cary Fitch -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20101222/79ea6900/attachment.htm>
