[Asterisk-Users] Comprehensive Asterisk Load Testing

[Zoa]

Hey,

Most of the time you dont need a big machine to test a small machine.
Just make sure there is no transcoding on the sending end.
I did all the tests you mentioned (Except for the jitter buffer) on a
dual xeon and a via c3.

That took me about 2 months fulltime (its a lot harder than it looks),
you can find some of the results on www.astertest.com (there you will
find also some imature version of a callgenerator for asterisk that
would probably help you to do things faster).
I could also help you off list if you want.

Zoa.
