Hi,
I know somebody is going to give me the link to the wiki hardware
pages, but I can't find the answer there. I'd like to know if, for an
Asterisk only system (nothing else of note running on it), I get a
real gain from having 2 CPUs.
Does the amount of traffic/SIP registrations/codec translation
possible doubles with 2 CPUs? (each quad core E5420 to be precise)?
Does it increase by 50%? It is only a marginal increase, or none at all?
I wish I could test it myself, but I haven't bought the hardware yet
and this will help me decide what I am buying.
Regards,
Mike

In my experience I don't see any benefit from dual cpu's on asterisk
boxes unless you are doing a lot of transcoding and generally I would
suggest trying to avoid transcoding as it generally works out more cost
effective in the long run than continually adding hardware. I've found
chan_sip to be a limiter long before the hardware is stressed.
