[Freeswitch-users] Max of 170 channels in the conference room.

Hi, sorry for my ignorance, but I was wondering if these figures are
in any way comparable to the performance FS would have doing bridged
calls?

I have a web callback app that's currently running on top of Asterisk,
and I'm planning on moving to FS, and use originate/&bridge commands
to bridge calls between two actual phones. I'd like to know if (using
the same setup as Johny) I'd be able to hit more than 170 channels?
(or more than 170 calls, I guess that would be 340 channels).

Thanks
