I think there are 3 main problems.<br><br>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.<br>2) The core developers are too busy to bother with gathering the stats.<br>
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.<br><br>It sort of like if someone offered FREE CARS, take one and drive away and do whatever you want with it.<br>
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.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>Most people doing 50cps all day long should be making so much money they can either afford nicer boxes or more expensive equipment if<br>they need to scale more.<br><br>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<br>
hardware choices etc.<br><br>sigh,<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Michael Giagnocavo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mgg@giagnocavo.net">mgg@giagnocavo.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p>if you have the time and ability to create such a
multi-dementional array of tjat data in some usable form that would be fine, it
is a wiki after all. I however tend to think that there are too many
variables to reliably provide any sort of real data and that the time required
to do so would be quite a lot. </p>

<p>Hello All,<br>
<br>
Does anyone know what the capacity of a stand-alone Freeswitch (assuming a<br>
top-of-the-line server), in terms of how many users?</p>

You can have many hundreds of users, but there are a lot of factors: network
infrastructure, call volume, etc.<span> </span><br>

Yes there are strategies. You definitely want a professional to assist if this
is a serious production environment. There are members of the FS community who
do this sort of thing, or you could email<span> </span><a href="mailto:consulting@freeswitch.org" target="_blank">consulting@freeswitch.org</a><span> </span>to get assistance from the core FS
developers.<br>
