Well I gave up with chan_h323, which is a pity, because it should be the solution that is better integrated with Asterisk. I would still like to hear from anybody that has any ideas (please see my original post). Instead, I downloaded asterisk-oh323-0.6.5 from InAccessNetworks, along with Janus-patch4 of PWlib (1.6.6.3) and OpenH323 (1.13.5.3). Following the instructions exactly, installation went smoothly, and worked first time. When testing the ability of dual 3GHz Xeons to handle many simultaneous OH323 calls (G.711 so no heavy transcoding), I discovered that chan_oh323 is EXTREMELY profligate with file descriptors! Each open oh323 channel uses 21 fds, yes TWENTY-ONE! In order to handle upwards of 120 simultaneous calls I needed to increase the per-process file descriptor limit from the default of 1024, using the technique described at: http://www.xenoclast.org/doc/benchmark/HTTP-benchmarking-HOWTO/node7.html I then added "ulimit -n 8192" to /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk. It seems to be working ok now, but I'd still like to get chan_h323 working sometime, as I have a feeling it will be much less hungry for file descriptors! Comments, anyone?
