[Freeswitch-dev] Scalabilty of Freeswitch

[Anthony Minessale]

I think there are 3 main problems.

1) The core developers should not be blowing their own horn about
performance results in any official capacity because it will appear skewed
to skeptics.
2) The core developers are too busy to bother with gathering the stats.
3) 9.9/10 newcomers who try to do load testing get it wrong somewhere and we
spend a month dealing with them on the list etc.

It sort of like if someone offered FREE CARS, take one and drive away and do
whatever you want with it.
People show up and say, "how fast can it go?" "how well does it handle on
curves?" .. I don't know it's a FREE CAR, go drive it and you tell me.

I think some people forget this is an open source project and it's up to the
community to decide for themselves how well it works.

I would love to find a way to save us all the time of dealing with people
who try to load test first and try real calls later.

The industry standard for calls is 50cps which is assuming a typical load of
25cps burst-able to 50 to cover a fault in a cluster.

Most people doing 50cps all day long should be making so much money they can
either afford nicer boxes or more expensive equipment if
they need to scale more.

FS can handle this load easily and many people tune their box to do triple
that if not even more but that is all subjective to their
hardware choices etc.

sigh,
