Offloading? What exactly?

A quad E1 (4 E1 cards, much more than is needed for the 64 lines
mentioned in the topic) takes 8Mb of actual data per second, overheade
not included.

It doesn't take much horsepower: A decent single-CPU P4 server could
easily handle the full capacity of that card, assuming that there are no
other load factors such as conferences, compressions and such.


However if you get a network segment into the picture, you now have to
take into account not only your server and the other server, but also
all the network infrastructure in between. E.g.: the switch(es), QoS,
etc.
