[asterisk-users] Linux Kernel Timer Frequency and Asterisk

[Mark Coccimiglio]

Ok here is a real geek question,

I building my own linux kernel for my asterisk system and came across 
the kernel setting for the timer frequency.  I have one of 3 hardcode 
choices 100Hz, 250 Hz and 1000Hz.  From what I understand the default 
Freq was changed from 100Hz in kernel 2.4 to 1000Hz (1KHz) in kernel 
2.6.  Timing is a BIG issue in asterisk with all the TDM and zap channel 
stuff.  My guess is to go with the lower 100 or 250 Hz option but that 
is only a guess.  The 1KHz sounds like it will conflict with the Zap 
1khz timer (or am I wrong about that).  Does anyone know what the 
prefered settings are for Trixbox or AsteriskNOW (or the asterisk code 
forks e.g. OpenPBX)?  Please let me know what your experience has been.
