Re: [Asterisk-Users] Best bet ... IAX vs SIP

2005-06-12 Thread Steve Wolfe

as a 'newbie' myself I would like some others to comment.

1. I have seen very few IAX  phones.
2. Interasterisk communiations seems easier done with IAX2 - and IAX 
trunking might come into play.


3. The codec seems to have much more influence on bandwidth.

Well,

 I think you are asking the wrong question here, I think the proper 
question would be:


In a 20 extension iPBX environment, what combination of signaling and 
codec would provide the

best performace on a hardware of [specify your hardware here]?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Re: Digium Website Update: Asterisk Business Edition

2005-06-12 Thread Steve Wolfe



Again, I totally fail to see the problem here.
 

See the ubuntu distro site  for more on why this can be seen as a 
problem and conflict of interest.

http://www.ubuntu.com/

I cannot find the exact quote now, but the idea that Mark Shuttleworth 
mentions is that if ubuntu shipped a slick corporate version (aka Red 
Hat and others)  it would cause a severe conflict of interest for the 
ubuntu team; so they are not going to do that.


I really like the idea of astrisk having an  ABE or something like it. 
-- that this is a known stable supportable level of code. 

I really dislike That digium wants to treat this knowledge as secret 
instead of letting both the customers and the community know where these 
checkpoints are in time and location is very sad.


And this is something that I have worried about when first using 
asterisk .. that is .. what level should I be using. but pulling stuff 
off of head and testing seems to have worked fine (so far :) )

Re: [Asterisk-Users] how to limit simultaneous calls

2005-06-11 Thread Steve Wolfe


I am curious to what your loading was/is with 100 extensions.  How many 
concurrent calls should be planned - in an extensions to line ratio?  I 
had heard that 10 to 1 was a pretty good metric.  Thoughts?


-Steve



There is one asterisk server, and there are several locations. On each
location there are 100 (SIP) extensions. The idea is to set up a limit
of 10 concurrent calls for each location

Re: [Asterisk-Users] OT: Best DB

2005-03-15 Thread Steve Wolfe
Comment:
Best sometimes gets fuzzy.
MySQL's mind-share is frightening.
Because of the mind-share/marketing I see MySQL being deployed where 
perhaps PostgreSQL should be  and Oracle is considered too expensive. 
(avoiding  MS SQL server. :) )

Also probably due to the 'mind-share' documenation is more accessable 
for MySQL instead of PostgreSQL.  I find this sad, but it has not really 
changed much over the years.   Indeed, it might be getting worse.

And, I have found it easier to compile PostgreSQL than MySQL .. but 
easier to find performance tweeks for MySQL.  In the scheme of things, 
the performance tweeks are probably more imporant.

perhaps a modem card ??
  Short answer - NO you cannot use a regular modem.  Long answer - maybe,
read the wiki - it may give you clues as to whether or not your modem 
can work.  The wiki is at http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk.
Through some limited recent mis-experence (I could not get a clone modem 
to work) a comment found in on the wiki is appropriate:
~Save  your self several days and buy a real digium card

Good Hunting.

Kevin,
Can you tell us more about the sipura device?
(I just googled it)
Also if one is using sipura devices I would still be tempted to put in a 
real digium card -- or how well the the ztdummy  work for clocking?
