Hi Chris, Agreed, but personally I prefer the extra features Asterisk can provide if it stays in the path for a SOHO application. If there is no transcoding an Alix should be able to do 10 or more simultaneous calls, particularly if it is not the main router.
A dual core Atom could then probably do 50 simultaneous calls with Asterisk in the path w/o transcoding? I'm guessing, haven't tested it. Though if I were using AstLinux to create a phone system for a Hotel or such, then directmedia=no may not be the best choice. :-) Lonnie On Aug 2, 2013, at 8:52 AM, The Cadillac Kid wrote: > using directmedia=no however will greatly reduce the number of simultaneous > calls you can have in your system.. esp if you are running an embedded board > like a soekris or alix. > -Christopher > > > From: Lonnie Abelbeck <[email protected]> > To: AstLinux Users Mailing List <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, August 2, 2013 9:42 AM > Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Disable NAT on EXTIF > > Hi Armin, > > I see, you want to route a private subnet created and NAT'ed in pSense into > the internal interface of AstLinux.
