[asterisk-users] Asterisk concurrent calls count

[David Backeberg]

I wonder if there's a proportion where somebody could take some
standard kernel output, say bogomips,
and guesstimate some proportionality from that. As in: bogomips says
this, expect ballpark 120 SIP over codec calls.
It certainly seems like there could be some kind of asterisk
benchmarking utility kindof like Sandra for Windows. I know there are
a gazillion variables in asterisk, and that's why asterisk is so
powerful. But some benchmarking utility would at least allow some
(even if phony baloney) relative comparisons between similar hardware.

Has anybody ever tried to roll their own VoIP or Zaptel load
simulator? How did they do it?
