Are there 45 G.729 instances for the 45 ZAP legs in addition to 45
G.729 instances for the 45 SIP legs? Or do the ZAP legs not get a codec
(HW instead)?
Its a 4 Port T1 with 92 ZAP channels. So we are talking about 90 SIP
Channels being fed into 90 ZAP channels (which means 180 people are
talking, 90 on SIP Phones and 90 on PSTN lines). We are therefore
transcoding 90 G.729 calls into 90 G.711 Calls. It eats up 90 G.729
licenses. I hope that clears things up.
Digium has also reported 80 G729 calls on their own dual cpu 2.8Ghz

Hi Matthew,
Yes, those are really 90 SIP-ZAP calls. Which means the 4 port T1 is
pretty much full of calls. All SIP endpoints are forced to G729. And
as for your 125% question I really don't know why. This is just what I
can see from our MRTG graphs. We graph all CPU usage and SIP/ZAP
calls. All our servers are running Asterisk 1.2.9.1.

Also, how do you get 125% more CPU bandwidth by adding another CPU,
which usually gets less than 100% more power after its overhead to
function in the system?

I have found a site that list the following (no date in the post, so
it may be old):
"since all transcoding and calls still go through one core in
asterisk,
it doesn't make sense to buy a multi-core or hyperthreaded system
that
will only slow you down"
Does that still applies in asterisk 1.2.14/1.4.x ?
Or do we have to tweak source code to balance loads
(transcoding,etc)
between cores?
I can tell you that statement is bogus. We run a number of dual cpu
and
single cpu systems on our network. The dual ones (Xeon 3.6Ghz) can
easily handle 90 G729 calls at 50% CPU Usage. The single ones will
be
at 50% with only 40 calls.
