[Asterisk-Users] H323 Large Scale

[BJ Weschke]

 Yes. I'm using Asterisk "CVS-v1-0-01/24/05" with asterisk-oh323-0.6.5
compiled in on two GW's with two DS1's doing RBS wink in each box
which then flip the calls to G711ulaw/H.323 back to an Avaya S8700
where the users are at.

 Using the Varion quad span cards, and the APIC/IO-APIC kernel
enabled, I'm finding that I still can't above about 70 or so ports
concurrently active on a dual xeon 2.8 gHz machine before sound
quality starts to degrade. This doesn't appear to be a CPU issue, but
rather one of missed interrupts either on eth0 or tor2, so I've cut
back to 48 and that has been very, very stable. These 48 ports are
pretty much off hook all through the business day, so for the month,
each box will do a little over 600,000 minutes through it.

 Additionally, it would appear that oh323-0.6.5 does have some leaks
of file sockets going on so after a bunch of connects/disconnects, you
can max out your avail fh's. I've resolved this by automagically
having * restart itself via CRON each night at 20 to 4a when there
isn't any utilization.

 Aside from the two initial bandaids we had to overcome mentioned
above, the solution has been rock solid since that time.
