[Asterisk-Users] I guess my server capacity is ok

[Lachek Butalek]

What process is taking up 100% CPU? Is it Asterisk processes or
something else? Also, is the load spread out over multiple processes,
or do you have one or two processes taking up 90% or more of your
total?

You also have dual CPUs (and hyperthreading, which to FC3 should look
like 4 CPUs if I'm not mistaken) - is the 100% CPU usage across all
two (or four) processors, or is it only CPU1 that peaks at 100%? Have
a look at "Last Used CPU" in top. What load are the other CPUs at?

I don't have personal experience running that large of an
installation, but I imagine your system specs would allow you to
handle more simultaneous calls than 50, even though you're doing some
transcoding.
