Running a system with FreePBX/Trixbox especially generates vast amounts of output that has to be generated on every AMI connection for every client. This is not trivial and can result in lockups very easily, although this has gotten much better since the early 1.0 versions. <BR><BR>The new Asterisk Manager web API in 1.4 is a good step where sending of Actions does not require an actual Telnet conneciton to the AMI, but I think to be able to handle larger numbers of concurrent connections that a separate send-only and a separate receive-only type of interface be built where Asterisk would just output all AMI data to a single server-like application that would then broadcast it to all connected clients. This would remove the burden of so many connections going directly into Asterisk and would allow for much larger scaling of AMI-type applications that require real-time output of AMI events. <BR><BR>As for how to go about doing this, I can't help you there. I did build a very specialized version of something like this 4 years ago for the astGUIclient project called the Asterisk Central Queue System(ACQS) It is based on 1.0 Asterisk but it still works with 1.2 and 1.4. It is limited in what it does, but it does scale much better than using direct AMI connections.<BR><A href="http://astguiclient.sourceforge.net/acqs.html">http://astguiclient.sourceforge.net/acqs.html </A><BR><BR>MATT---<BR><BR><BR><DIV><SPAN class="gmail_quote">On 5/16/07, <B class="gmail_sendername">Dean Collins</B> <<A href="mailto:Dean@cognation.net">Dean@cognation.net</A>> wrote:</SPAN><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0; margin-left: 0.80ex; border-left-color: #cccccc; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex"> <DIV lang="EN-US" link="#0000ff" vlink="#800080"><DIV><P><FONT size="2" color="#000000" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000">If it's not stable what needs to be done to improve this?
