[Asterisk-Users] call "load balancing"

[Dave Redmore]

Hello All,

Wondering what sort of real world mileage people are getting out of 
different internet connecions - i.e. different DSL connection speeds, 
cable modems, etc...  Is it reasonable to hope to carry 10 - 15 
concurrent calls on a 768K DSL?  I'm not talking about theoretical BW or 
looking for any difinitive absolute guarantee...  With DSL and Cable - 
there is no guarantee, so I'm wondering what folks are getting with real 
world usage...

Secondly, assuming I want to replace 8 - 10 POTS lines coming in with 
someone like NuFone or TELIAX...  It would seem to be well worth 
spending an extra $40/mnth for an extra DSL connection for redundancy 
(probably with two different ISPs) - so, is there any way to get 
asterisk to route calls based on the quality of a connection at any 
given time?  If I had 2 DSL connections and Asterisk is registered to 
2-3 different service providers - can asterisk do some sort of "load 
balancing" of calls?

Thanks,

Dave Redmore
