We have a machine with a quad core 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1410 0 @ 2.80GHz' running asterisk 11.2-cert with ingress and egress all sip. Fastagi running as a daemon (written in perl) performing cdr updates at call start, answer and call end together with a query when a call comes in to get information on what to do with it. Local Mysql 5.5 database. With all this we easily handled 450 simultaneous calls with many of them also performing call recording. I think we typically had 60% idle on each processor so the box could be pushed a lot more.

How did the system behave with 244 calls? I've been able to make 1,024 concurrent faxes (which tend to use more resources than audio calls) in the lab. The problem I had was after the faxes were transmitted, things couldn't keep up and kept dumping core. Two things were going on, (1) the CDR was written to MySQL and (2) a FastAGI script (I use the AGISpeedy PERL package) to write a log entry also to MySQL. I tried switching the CDR's to sqlite and that seemed able to keep up, except that its concurrency issues were a problem. If MySQL is the problem, I could probably optimize it better, but it doesn't explain the Asterisk core dumps. It might be related to the number of FastAGI scripts running, I'm not sure at this point.

The better question is, maximum number of users (IP Phones) can your hardware support. I have * deployments with 300-600 phones. - works fine. though concurrent calls has never seen more then 244. Also at this point I have to ask, for this to be any concern to you, you must either A, Make tons of internal calls. OR B have multiple T1's/lots of sip channels?

Hello;

Can someone advise me what is the maximum number of users (IP Phones) that can be supported by asterisk 1.8 or later?

Regards

Bilal
