Kewl. We're kinda stuck at 350,000 simultaneous calls because our test harness can't push the hardware any harder, but I'd be very interested to see if we can do some sort of cloud-scale test harness -- as the PSTN starts to unify, we're going to need something that we can stand up in EC2 or somewhere to do hard-core load generation. I used to have some buddies at C&W that could lend me time, but those were then.

Let's talk. I think there's some very interesting stuff going on wrt 100G Ethernet that we might want to think very hard about how to exploit.
