[asterisk-users] Network architecture

[Alex Balashov]

No, asterisk on conventional hardware can handle at most a few hundred  
calls.

I would strongly discourage the use of Asterisk purely as a transit  
element for billing. Just because a2billing is available does not mean  
you should. Far more scalable solutions are easily available.
