[asterisk-users] Maximum number of users

[Keith Sloan]

To be honest I am not sure, I pulled the data from a cacti graph shortly
before posting my reply. I imagine it all ended well, as I don't recall
hearing complaints on quality. I have noticed the core dump issue mixed
with * and SQL a few months ago. We had about 120-150 users in a
conference, that seemed to be okay, heard a complaint about a periodic
sputter in audio, but nothing to serious. Issues came once the call was
done, ~150 users all hanging up at once. SQL was VERY upset with that,
causing * to choke. Though I think it was how we handled the deployment to
get it up quickly, and may have been able to prevent this, if tested
better.
