You could also look at Oreka at sourceforge.
Tom,
We are moving in that direction, but we don't have it in production yet. Since it is a packet sniffing solution, the limiting factor becomes the point at which the kernel starts to drop an unacceptable number of packets. A PF_RING <www.ntop.org/PF_RING.html> enabled version of libpcap can help to raise this point. There's some pretty sophisticated buffering going on, but it's still a good idea to dedicate a fast disk (or RAID) to writing the recordings.
Keep in mind that Oreka aims to do one thing, while Asterisk is a sort of VOIP Swiss Army knife. If all you want to do is record calls, Oreka is a good candidate. On the other hand, Asterisk will give you call recording along with a plethora of other features.
Oreka's main developer is extremely skilled, helpful, and responsive. As far as dimensioning Oreka, here is a quote from him:
"What I can say is that we do have a customer recording 200 concurrent conversations without drops under Linux FC4 with the following server (Desktop hardware actually): Dell Dimension 9200 IntelR CoreTM 2 Duo Processor E6300 (2MB L2 Cache,1.86GHz,1066) 1 Gig of RAM Dual-Channel DDR2 SDRAM (533MHz) 1 x 80 Gig SATA II drive 1 x 300 Gig SATA I drive And this is without PF_RING or anything else, so I would be surprised if we could not push this further." Good day, Matthew Roth InterMedia Marketing Solutions Software Engineer and Systems Developer _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
