Hi all, Here I a have a question and hope that someone give me the right answer...Is it better to use Intel CPU inside the hardware where I need to install Asterisk or AMD? It's better to use 32 bits or 64 bit and what is the difference between both of them? Thanks a lot On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at

I think in this case when 5k call are involved i think all the difficulty of the project is to split the load on different parts of the system. In my case i would do it like that: Phones ---Opensips (Double server with heartbeat and in different places) |

No, asterisk on conventional hardware can handle at most a few hundred calls. I would strongly discourage the use of Asterisk purely as a transit element for billing. Just because a2billing is available does not mean you should. Far more scalable solutions are easily available. -- Sent

Just a laypersons opinion - I'm sure others here have better answers or justifications. 1. no (at least not realistically, mathematically there are some) 2. perhaps - bandwidth would be your primary concern since 5K calls would take 150 M of bandwidth 3. IMO it would be better to

Sorry for the top post. If you have three remote offices and can control the routers, use a hardware vpn router. I use netgear FVS318's and FVL328's. They are inexpensive and functional for small offices and your server is not exposed. Paul From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
