[asterisk-users] Replacing PBX with Asterisk, need feedback on my new architecture.

[Alex Balashov]

Are you certain that this wouldn't be an issue if the phones had low re-registration intervals?  Historically, I've seen the Asterisk registrar faceplant with throughput in excess of 5-7 registrations/sec, though I have no idea as to whether that holds true of newer releases.

If all of those phones are going to be subscribing to hints for a dozen or more of the other phones, then yes, that could be an issue, as the amount of NOTIFY traffic would be quite high... but for registration and normal calling, even if all these phones were in use at once, I would not expect any issues at all due to performance.
