As I understand it, the theoretical limits of Asterisk are hardware-based.
In real usage, I would see you running into some problems on C word boundary
limits (32665, etc).  I have some 1.4 installs that run 2-5K calls a day
with minimal problems and I read frequently about users with 10K+ users.
The biggest issue I see with what you have presented is bandwidth issues.

Hi

I'm hoping someone could comment on how our setup will perform under larger
loads.
Its a quite simple setup, with Asterisk 1.6.2 on Debian 6 on an EC2 large
instance (7GB RAM, 2 virtual cores with EC2 compute units).
Using an IAX2 trunk we offer normal phones to dial in and listen to a mp3
stream using music on hold.

If we wanted to let 1000 users listen to the stream at the same time, would
that be possible? What limits will we hit? How about 10000 users?

Regards
Morten
