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.

That's interesting. Do you know how many Asterisk machines he needed?

Sorry. Way past my memory limits.
