[Asterisk-Users] * on openmosix

I have setup a couple of openmosix clusters, not commercially just for interest sake..

I don't think the Voice/PBX type application would be suited to this type of clustering because the voice system requires as close to realtime response as possible.. The cluster works by load balancing the various threads if an application across the members servers in the cluter after a certain time had been exceeded for a single thread.. While this worked great from me when I was converting a large number of .wav files to MP3 on small hardware it would add latency to the voice path by needing to pass the information from one PC to the other and then back again across the "slow" ethernet network..

But they are great if you have a multi-threaded processing intensive application..

later..
 

Hallo all
Just for interest sakes.. 
Have any of you tried to run * on a openmosix cluster?? Could be nice for ppl like me that don’t have the resources to buy “proper” machines (I can get P1 166 for almost nothing, but higher than that is to expensive)
Thanks
