[Freeswitch-users] FS as a Class 5 switch

[Nandy Dagondon]

hi dave,

tks for sharing us this info. i don't think we can reach 10k prefixes but
your deployment to use external database or mod_lcr is the way to go. re
hardware, i think core2 platform would be enough cuz it will be in a rural
installation. i'm sure it wont reach 200 simultaneous calls.

FS community is really great!

tks once again,
nandy
