[Freeswitch-users] G.729 transcoder licensing

[Guillermo Ruiz Camauer]

If you are running a high traffic system, be careful and check CPU
utilization, as another 50 transcoding sessions might put you into
dangerous territory.  Digium or Sangoma are you friends in that case.
Their boards take a lot of load off a high traffic system. What I don't
know is if both technologies can coexist in one system (120 transcoding
sessions from a Digium board + XX soft licenses)  how would it decide which
to use first?
