[Asterisk-biz] Forklift a 2000 phone PBX - 5000 calls up - WAY up

[Brian West]

Paul,
	We never did get to the bottom of the passing of audio.  If you pass 
5k calls at ulaw that would be about 3.2 gigabit of bandwidth.  If I 
recall I heard something about using app_echo in your testing.  If you 
recall app_echo doesn't send any audio unless it gets audio.  Thus you 
can signal 5k calls but don't expect to pass audio.  And does sipps 
support passing of audio?  I don't recall it doing so.  I know we spoke 
at von and we would like to know the low down dirty details of how your 
tests are done.   Maybe a step by step "how-we-did-it.txt" to really 
show it off so we can get some objective input.  I'll hold back my 
opinion till we see some doc and info to back it up.

Thanks,
/b
