[asterisk-users] Asterisk scalability

[Daniel Cole]

Sorry to be a little OT.. But may I ask what some more of the specs are for that machine? Just trying to get an idea of what different hardware can achieve.

Thanks,


Daniel

I'm sure that an Asterisk developer can chime in and give several examples
of how Asterisk uses its threads to increase scalability. That said, there
will be a point where the number of core/CPU's won't be the bottleneck so
adding more won't help anything.


Asterisk is highly multi-threaded and definitely takes advantage of multiple cores.

There are a few places where concurrency could be further improved, but its really quite good in 1.4.  (IAX in 1.4 does handle traffic using a thread pool so will take advantage of multiple cores).

By the way, I have a client with a four-core Xeon box doing SIP to IAX conversion - that box can handle 1000 concurrent calls.
