[asterisk-users] Can Asterisk handle 7000 SIP users?

[Marnus van Niekerk]

Copy and paste from my reply to a similar question a couple of weeks ago:

5000 sip registrations is quite a lot, but the more important thing is 
the number of simultaneous calls.
If most of your calls is going to be SIP 2 SIP then I would suggest you 
use openSER for the SIP registrations and most SIP call routing and use 
asterisk only for calls to/from PSTN and media such as voicemail and 
announcements.

openSER is made for this and is a lot faster at doing SIP call setup.  
Then use asterisk where it is good.
There are good examples of setting up openSER with asterisk on the net 
sharing a MySQL DB for users, auth etc.

Have a look at

other Asterisk related info at http://openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php
