[Freeswitch-users] how many conferences?

[Yossi Neiman]

I don't mean to be overly pedantic here, but the default configurations 
may allow for the creation of up to 100 conferences of each type, but in 
essence no conference is actually created until the first caller calls a 
given conference.  That conference remains active until the last caller 
disconnects from the conference.  Each conference runs the audio stream 
at the given rate it is configured for (i.e. narrowband), and thus has 
to manipulate the sample rates and perform transcoding as necessary upon 
non-matching media.  Thus there is no simple way to calculate how many 
conferences you can fit on a server of given configuration X, as there 
are far too many variables at play for each configuration even.
