[asterisk-dev] The New CDR system

In addition to my last post, is asterisk capable of handling an IAX2 
packet if the previous one was not processed yet ? (Lets say the XML 
packet would cause some delay because it needs processing like storing 
on the receiving asterisk's database server, would this block the other 
packets from coming in ? - i think the current IAX2 realtime patch with 
some multithreading is not done very well yet in that aspect yet - i've 
heard replies that it still causes issues.)
