[Freeswitch-users] Load test - performance not even matching Asterisk

[Anthony Minessale]

What are you using to generate the load?
What are you using to deuce the load values?
You do realize that asterisk does not send RTP when you call it with sipp
etc unless you have it configured to send some audio.  Asterisk cannot
generate it's own audio in most cases.  So that 100 calls may not even be
doing anything but sitting there blocking.
Also, if you are basing it on the load average, FS always has a high load
average because it distributes the load on the threads to get max usage of
the CPU thus the idle time and load average number can hover in the 100's
eaisly when the box is still completely responsive.


Perhaps you should just let us into your machine and call you on the phone
so we can get this over with for once and for all.  We don't have time to
keep going back and forth like this.

We are now 4/0 vs ppl saying there was a performance issue that boiled down
to us ssh'ing to the box and finding them doing something wrong or
misinterpreting the results so let's just get it over with.
