[asterisk-users] Which is more efficient for 1 to many broadcasting?

2014-03-18 Thread James Sharp
Putting a whole bunch of people into a listen-only/muted Confbridge 
conference or getting the broadcaster audio into a MOH class and then 
just having callers attach to that MOH class?


Does the the muted side of a Confbridge Room still try to mix in audio 
from the muted channels or does it just disregard those channels and 
only run mixes against unmuted channels?


Now, if the answer is MOH is more efficient, can someone suggest a way 
for a channel to be the source of a MOH class?

What sort of channel count are you looking for? We did some load
testing recently and found less people in a bridge is better then
more.  Audio source location didn't really matter much.

A few hundred to start with, but as with everything, I'd like to scale 
up as far as I can.  And, of course, it makes sense that less people in 
a bridge is better than more but that's not quite what I'm asking.


Is it more efficient to have, for example, 701 people in a confbridge 
room (700 muted users + 1 person yapping) or to have 700 people dialed 
in and just running the MusicOnHold application with said person yapping 
away via some audio source.
