If the difference really is 10:1, then I doubt that threads vs. linked lists completely explains it. But the difference may not be that much, as some other posts indicate. I would suggest to Virendra to make sure he's comparing identical configurations: machine type/speed/mem, same type of calls, same amount of call RTP handling (G711, no echo can, no recording, no DTMF, etc), latest versions of both softwares, and so on. That would be a good test. Since the metric in this case is concurrent calls, not CPS, it could be that for some reason, Asterisk's RTP coding isn't as efficient. -Jeff > Fra: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne af virendra > bhati > Sendt: 8. februar 2012 06:34 > Til: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Emne: Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk V/s FreeSwitch > > thanks Gilles, > > After reading these web links. it's pretty clear that FreeSwitch is batter > then Asterisk feature, quality wise.

Most of the info offered is from 2008.. The question I am asking is which is better today. In 2008 I was using 1.4 and it was bleeding edge. 1.8 and 10 have gotten a lot more efficent and. i've found I can speed up asterisk if I reduce my call code complexity, If I don't handle media. So my realy question is apples to apples how do the two compair Today? What features do I have to give up with free switch if I want 300 calls per second and 3000 concurrent calls? Then If I strip back asterisk to that feature set how would it stack up? Bryant
