[Freeswitch-users] Strange Performance when using as SBC

Hi Saeed,
I just created an account to share my setup on the wiki. I will detail
all the steps for a clean install of a debian64 lenny with FS used as a
SBC (next step is to try the new LCR module :) )and what I'm doing do
stress the server.
I wrote nothing at this time so please be patient, I'm waiting for my
new hardware so that I will detail as much as possible what I'll do.
For beginning I suggest you reading the start page on the wiki,
especially these pages:
-http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Guide
-http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Dialplan_XML
maybe you could tell more about the linux distribution you're using so
that I can give you some pointers for sipp...
regards.
rod.
