[asterisk-users] Network architecture

[Danny Nicholas]

Just a laypersons opinion - I'm sure others here have better answers or
justifications.

1.	no (at least not realistically, mathematically there are some)
2.	perhaps - bandwidth would be your primary concern since 5K calls
would take 150 M of bandwidth
3.	IMO it would be better to divide the load, but this depends on the
hardware you are using.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Network architecture

 

Hi all,

I'm planning to build a VOIP solution for handling SIP calls coming from
endpoints registered on a specific SIP proxy...I made some research
regarding network architecture and found out that the best solution is to
use OpenSips as SIP proxy for registration and local calls between
registered endpoints and use asterisk server with a2billing for PSTN calls,
rating, routing and all other stuff plus a MySQL database...

This architecture convinced me, but I have some questions regarding asterisk
and I need asterisk expert answers in order to take decision...

1- Is there any Software limitation on asterisk regarding number of
simulltaneous calls? 
2- Can 1 asterisk server handle 5000 simuitaneous calls if I have the
appropriate hardware?
3- It's etter to have one asterisk server for hadling 5k simultaneous calls
or divide the load on different servers?


Waiting your reply

Regards
