[Freeswitch-users] FS beats Aculab Prosody S on subjective test on lay users for conference quality

[Fernando Testa]

Hi, a bit late on answering some of the questions, but, here we go.On
Aculab, all codecs were G711u. The same codec we have on FS:

freeswitch at conference> show channels
API CALL [show(channels)] output:
uuid,direction,created,created_epoch,name,state,cid_name,cid_num,ip_addr,dest,application,application_data,dialplan,context,read_codec,read_rate,write_codec,write_rate,secure

2 total.

freeswitch at conference> conference list
API CALL [conference(list)] output:
Conference 3200-192.168.0.40 (2 members)

I think this answers some questions from Michael.
A packet dump I don't have right now.
