[asterisk-users] Asterisk stress call test

[Mik Cheez]

Aby,

Assuming you're building Asterisk from source, you can change the 
following in the scan_thread function:

change-
                 sleep(1);

to-
                 /*sleep(1);*/
                 usleep(100000);


This will change the delay from 1 second to 100000 microseconds (0.1 
second).

Of course Al's question is more relevant, as placing a thousand SIP 
calls is much different than sending calls through a ZAP channel.  If 
SIP, then what codec?  Also, you're going to find that Asterisk isn't 
the bottleneck in the scenario, but rather the computer (or computers) 
itself.  You can look around www.voip-info.org to see how other users 
performance tests look before trying your own stress test.  This will 
allow you to estimate your own performance before making call 1.

Best regards,

Mik
