[Asterisk-Users] Are zttest results relevant on a system with no telephony hardware?

2006-06-13 Thread Carl Youngblood

Our asterisk system gains access to the PSTN through a voip provider.
We have no digium or other telephony hardware in our system.  Do the
zttest results still matter to us?  Our results were as follows:

--- Results after 1007 passes ---
Best: 100.00 -- Worst: 99.780273 -- Average: 99.975763

IAX trunking and meetme conferences are some of the heaviest users of 
zaptel timing.  I'd suggest if you don't have hardware timing (or at 
least a 2.6.13 based kernel), then use SIP all the way or at least turn 
off IAX trunking.

Thanks.  What is it in the 2.6.13-based kernel that improves timing?
Should I expect to see a significant improvement if I upgrade to it?

2.6.13 has the high precision timers changes.  And people have reported 
99.99 averages with that change.


I do not recommend compiling your own kernel unless you know what you 
are doing though.  If you just want to give it a try, then use Ubuntu 
6.06, Debian Etch, FC4 or FC5 (or some other distro that packages 2.6.13 
or higher).  If you want to use it in long term production, then just 
get a TDM410B card and use hardware timers.
