We are planning to run an outbound only campaign. A 20-second voice message will be played to callers and our dialer on machine1 will send to machine2-asterisk (1.4) instructions to dial 400 calls, play the message and hang up. This will be done for about 1 million phones.<br>
<br>The asterisk box will communicate via SIP to a voice carrier. the voice carrier will then place the calls on pstn. The codec will be g711. So we will never do any transcoding.<br><br>I have been calculating the CPU power required to do the calls and in previous posting the usual calculation is about 40MHZ per leg when no transcoding is involved.<br>
So if we use the 40MHZ rule, we are talking about 40*400=16000MHZ or 1.6Ghz.<br><br>Comments?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>------------------------------------------------------------<br>Erick<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------<br>
