I would like to comment on this statement:
“3) 9.9/10 newcomers who try to do load testing get it wrong somewhere and we spend a month dealing with them on the list etc.” I see this very often in this mailing-list. Would it be a good idea to create wiki page how to fine tune Freeswitch to handle as many calls as possible? Maybe such page already exist? (I’m not able to find it). If not – I would like to help creating it. After few months when we will start developing our new product – I will come here and will cry for help (I will be one of these 9.9/10) to tune FS to handle as many calls as possible, because that will be my goal.

People show up and say, "how fast can it go?" "how well does it handle on curves?" .. I don't know it's a FREE CAR, go drive it and you tell me. I think some people forget this is an open source project and it's up to the community to decide for themselves how well it works. I would love to find a way to save us all the time of dealing with people who try to load test first and try real calls later. The industry standard for calls is 50cps which is assuming a typical load of 25cps burst-able to 50 to cover a fault in a cluster. Most people doing 50cps all day long should be making so much money they can either afford nicer boxes or more expensive equipment if they need to scale more. FS can handle this load easily and many people tune their box to do triple that if not even more but that is all subjective to their hardware choices etc. sigh, On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Michael Giagnocavo <m...@giagnocavo.net> wrote: Can’t we do what some vendors do? Pick the simplest config for a simple scenario, like statically bridging two channels, then publish those numbers? Or say, use one of the standard SIPP scenarios with no RTP? And so on.

I however tend to think that there are too many variables to reliably provide any sort of real data and that the time required to do so would be quite a lot.

This is very common question based on which many people measure switch capabilities, so in my opinion should be treated with that in mind (as marketing oportunity) Regards, Mindaugas Kezys http://www.kolmisoft.com VoIP Billing and Routing Solutions From: freeswitch-dev-boun...@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-dev-boun...@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Michael Collins Sent: 2009 m. rugpjūčio 26 d. 23:36 To: freeswitch-dev@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-dev] Scalabilty of Freeswitch This question sounds eerily familiar...

You can have many hundreds of users, but there are a lot of factors: network infrastructure, call volume, etc. Also, when that number is exceeded, how can Freeswitch server be distributed to accommodate a larger installation? Yes there are strategies. You definitely want a professional to assist if this is a serious production environment. There are members of the FS community who do this sort of thing, or you could email consult...@freeswitch.org to get assistance from the core FS developers. -MC _______________________________________________ FreeSWITCH-dev mailing list FreeSWITCH-dev@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-dev UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-dev http://www.freeswitch.org _______________________________________________ FreeSWITCH-dev mailing list FreeSWITCH-dev@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-dev UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-dev http://www.freeswitch.org -- Anthony Minessale II FreeSWITCH http://www.freeswitch.org/ ClueCon http://www.cluecon.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/FreeSWITCH_wire AIM: anthm MSN:anthony_miness...@hotmail.com <mailto:msn%3aanthony_miness...@hotmail.com> GTALK/JABBER/PAYPAL:anthony.miness...@gmail.com <mailto:paypal%3aanthony.miness...@gmail.com> IRC: irc.freenode.net #freeswitch FreeSWITCH Developer Conference sip:8...@conference.freeswitch.org <mailto:sip%3a...@conference.freeswitch.org> iax:gu...@conference.freeswitch.org/888 googletalk:conf+...@conference.freeswitch.org <mailto:googletalk%3aconf%2b...@conference.freeswitch.org> pstn:213-799-1400
