[Freeswitch-users] Is it a good idea to deploy Freeswitch on Xen Instances/Virtual Machines?

[Sidharth Kshatriya]

Thanks for taking the time -- you seem to confirm my fears about choppy
audio due to high latency on virtual machines... :-)

My site is going to be streaming a lot of audio via red5 servers (internet)
and running an IVR using freeswitch

Thanks,

Sidharth
