[Freeswitch-users] MInimal Hardware requirements - G729

[David Lawal]

I currently run freeswith in a VM environment in the cloud, does this mean for G729 license I will run into issues
with anything above 100 channels? Would have never imagined that...
Any input to this will help with FS and G729 trans-coding requirements.
Thanks
David
