<p>Last year I did a lab test for a customer who wanted conferencing solution for his organization, on a 2 x dual core xeon with 4GB type server, which had 120 zap channels and I put all the channels in mutiple conferences, from 4 to 20 users per conference and let it running for two weeks. Munin graph showed that CPU load was only 6 to 7 percent during this period, no conference dropped and asterisk didn't crash, and I occasionally used it to make calls and run other processes, and no call quality issues. Now that server is in production and customer is happy with it. I don't know about SIP which will use more processing, but I am sure a decent server of today can handle a good number of conferences with a good number of users each. What numbers you are looking for?</p>

A reasonably configured Asterisk server can handle XXX callers with Y<br>
callers in each of Z conferences.<br>
