Have you ever checked out the app_konference module? You can check it out here. http://sourceforge.net/projects/appkonference. I have a customer who routinely hosts 100+ users in a conference without issue. We've had very good results so far. We're hoping to eventually hit 500+ users in the future with a simple hardware upgrade and a better SIP provider.

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.

I've been able to make 1,024 concurrent faxes (which tend to use more resources than audio calls) in the lab. The problem I had was after the faxes were transmitted, things couldn't keep up and kept dumping core. Two things were going on, (1) the CDR was written to MySQL and (2) a FastAGI script (I use the AGISpeedy PERL package) to write a log entry also to MySQL. I tried switching the CDR's to sqlite and that seemed able to keep up, except that its concurrency issues were a problem. If MySQL is the problem, I could probably optimize it better, but it doesn't explain the Asterisk core dumps. It might be related to the number of FastAGI scripts running, I'm not sure at this point.

I have * deployments with 300-600 phones. - works fine. though concurrent calls has never seen more then 244. Also at this point I have to ask, for this to be any concern to you, you must either A, Make tons of internal calls. OR B have multiple T1's/lots of sip channels?
