but this was only sip signaling. i also done some load tests with 8000 concurrent calls doing a playback of a unique file for each call and the load was around 30 but sound quality still sounds ok. but no one will every build a single host system for such many calls, you will have only problems with it. a typical sip proxy can handle much more sip messages as asterisk and you can easy spread the load over different machines. i guess you should start to try it out what your system and your asterisk configuration can handle without problems and do some educated guesses about it. so its not about numbers cause nobody can really answer this question without trying it out and there will still be too much space for difference to give you an exactly amount. best regards stefan -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
