[asterisk-biz] Grandstream Deployment Experiences?

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

I occasionally get a strange message (next time I plan to print this
message) to the effect of my network is too crowded.  This happens only when
the GXPs are ringing, and it pretty much brings the whole system down.
There's only 4 GXPs right now.  I'm about to swap them tonight and see if
that fixes it.  Even after restarting Asterisk, I have to reboot each GXP
phone.  I have a couple of Cisco and Polycom on the system, but not doing
anything.  I don't really have any details on what is happening, just that I
suspect the GXPs are the culprits.  I'll know next week for sure.  It seems
to happen about every 2 or 3 days.

But, the GXPs are cheap :-)
