[Asterisk-Users] bandwidth

[Eric Wieling aka ManxPower]

Actually about 80k-82k when you take into account UDP and RTP overhead 
and assume you are using SIP.  Single IAX2 call may be a little less. 
multiple IAX2 calls using trunking will be a lot less.

In fact, this question is answered on 
http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=documentation
specifically the link to 
http://www.packetizer.com/voip/diagnostics/bandcalc.html

Unfortunatly the above URL is not terribly clear and understandable.

People complain about Asterisk's lack of good, organized, understandable 
documentation.  It might help if they actually used the documentation 
and links that ARE available.

Here we have an example of one person that didn't do the research 
(understandable, since he/she might not have known about the 
Documentation link on Digium's web site) and then asked a question and 
then another person that ALSO didn't do the research (I'm guilty of this 
too, but am getting much better) but answered the question anyway.
