[Asterisk-Users] TDMoE

[Alex Lopez]

Would this let me 'join' asterisk serves into one???  For example if I
need to terminate a DS3 worth of PRI. I would have 30 T1s after the mux,
but would need at least 7.5 (4)T1 port cards. (No flames, I know that
Digium won't sell me half a card:-) )

I would like to have one asterisk server handle it all in a cluster type
environment. One extensions.conf, etc...

I know that other issues come into play such as hard drive, process,
memory, etc.  But I would like to know how to deploy Asterisk in Large
scale opportunities.

I think Open Source is the future, just don't let SCO know....

TDMoE is an attempt to create a fake TDM connection over ethernet. It
accomplishes this by creating putting packets directly on the ethernet
wire destined for the other side.

TDM interfaces are always on, so a TDMoE psuedo T1 will rob your
ethernet line of 1.544mbit+overhead right off hand with zero calls on
it. 

IAX is a VoIP protocol, and like other VoIP protocols it keeps a small
ping like connection to the remote side to make sure it can complete a
call, and then only perks up to a larger stream when there is a call to
be transported.
