I'm interested in examples of large conferences implemented on Asterisk, where almost all of the users are listen-only. For example, 500 listeners and 3 talkers.

What's the largest you've seen? Was that in production, in a test environment, or hypothetical? Was it on a single Asterisk machine or multiple?

A couple of years ago, a guy described (on the user list?) a conference system he built with 6,000 participants.

As I remember, it was for NASCAR fans to listen in to the drivers during the race. Callers could choose which driver (by car number?).

He described the system as a tree. The top level had the original feeds. Each level below was hosts connected as a participant in the upstream host's conference until he had enough levels to have enough hosts to handle 6,000 callers.
