There was a discussion about this a few months ago on this list.

I haven't personally run into this issue, but another poster claimed
that at a certain point of simultaneous channels, they were having
problems writing to disk and that load was going high on the system.
When they separated recording out, those problems went away.

At the time, the idea sounded silly, and the more I thought about it,
SIP audio over UDP is the perfect candidate for this kind of
port-mirroring treatment. I have not played with Oreka, but after that
previous discussion it sounds interesting enough that I want to play
with it in my lab.


Also, what if you need a call recording solution in a hosted environment. Would you rather setup one system to transparently record all calls flowing through your network or install some sort of call recording mechanism on many dozens of machines? And, dare I say, what if you needed to perform call recording in a covert fashion when you did not have access to the system itself?
