[asterisk-users] MeetMe Limits

[Matt Florell]

Hello,

We routinely run meetme with over 140 ULAW channels connected to 70
meetme rooms with no issues on an Intel Core 2 Quad core CPU.

The major factor in capacity would be your CPU and RAM capacity. If
you have at least a base-level P4 you don't need to worry about 12
participants.
