Hi, I have a trivial setup on a 2.4GHz Xeon Dell PE 1750 SCSI machine dealing with 4 ports of E1 in an 'inline PBX' arrangement.

My extensions.conf is simply:

[general]
static=yes
writeprotect=yes

[frompstn]
exten => _31.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN})
exten => _31.,2,Congestion

[fromaxxess]
exten => _13.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},,h)
exten => _13.,2,Congestion
exten => _31.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN})
exten => _31.,2,Congestion
include => outbound

[outbound]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,2,Congestion

We have a full 30-channel PRI and a 4-channel partial PRI and are experiencing load spikes that I can't find the source of.

The machine Debian sarge on the default 2.6.8-2-686 kernel, and no other daemons are running than sshd.

The machine is doing no IP work - purely TDM, yet on a Xeon 2.4GHz machine, the load average is sitting at 0.6 with 40 active Zap channels (i.e. 20 live calls) and will randomly jump to 2 (with call quality starting to stutter)

A few seconds of vmstat:


procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 7 0 0 223560 1276 223040 0 0 3 10 83 94 1 2 97 0 0 0 0 223552 1284 223040 0 0 0 16 5128 3461 1 0 98 1 0 0 0 223552 1284 223040 0 0 0 0 5094 3319 10 9 81 0 0 0 0 223552 1284 223040 0 0 0 16 5130 2955 1 10 89 0 0 0 0 223552 1292 223040 0 0 0 60 5121 2918 0 1 97 2 0 0 0 223552 1292 223040 0 0 0 0 5031 2936 1 0 99 0

Does this sound about normal for what is just shuffling data between ports of the Sangoma A104? I want to record the call data with the 'Monitor' application but this just causes the load to increase even more (even though 'hdparm' shows 70MB/sec disk transfer with low user+system CPU usage)

/proc/interrupts is

Help! :)

Cheers,
Gavin.
