Just for curiosity: All of them can talk to conference? or only some of them? I thought about it, and for me, 90 open microphone participants looks like some white noise :-) Not tried here... just wondering how do you do. Well, the users have the ability to mute themselves, and there is also usually an operator with a control screen who can mute noisy participants if required. And I believe people only speak when invited to by the conference chairman. It seems to work to the customer's satisfaction, anyway. Actually, 90 was the peak channel usage I observed - it could well have been split between multiple conferences, rather than all in a single one.

[asterisk-users] MeetMe CPU resources
Hello, We would like to have a conference with 15 users aprox. We think that Pentium 4 3GHz and 1GB of RAM should be enough. Only Asterisk running. We wonder if somebody has some other experience, good or bad. We will use Asterisk 1.2 (it is a small and short project for only this).

I'd consider that over-kill (Means it'll work fine). We've used a Pentium 3 866mhz with 512mb memory and have had up to 10 in a conference without any issues.

I have a number of systems that have a single Pentium 4 @ 2.8GHz (with HT), 1GB RAM and a 4xE1 PRI card (TE410P), and they regularly have conferences with up to 90 participants. I would expect them easily to handle the full 120 if needed. We are not using echo cancellation. Using VoIP will consume more CPU due to the networking overhead, and even more if you are transcoding a compressed codec. However, with the spec of your machine, you should be ok with 15 users even using VoIP and compressed codecs.

Re: [asterisk-users] MeetMe CPU resources
Hello, First of all: also thanks to Doug Lytle and Steve Edwards. Just answering one time to all of you. I had the feeling that this computer, for 15 Meetme users, was more than enough... but we wanted to avoid any last-minute surprises! Now we are more sure that everything will work fine. Ah yes, we will use VoIP, without transcoding (I hope!), without Digium Timer card (but I will check, just in case we need it) On Nov/06/2007, Tony Mountifield wrote: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Carles Pina i Estany [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It will depend on whether you are using VoIP or a PRI card.

Re: [asterisk-users] MeetMe CPU resources
Just remember if you don't have any Zaptel cards you are going to have to use ztdummy to run app_meetme. Ztdummy essentially requires Linux 2.6, which you should be using anyways.
