[Freeswitch-users] how many conferences?

[Jun Sun]

I understand the complexity here. I guess I was really trying to get 
some empirical data or some ballpark idea as to how many conference 
lines a reference CPU unit can handle. Right now I'm not sure if it is 
10, 100, or maybe even 1000!?

For most practical usage where callers are from landline/mobile phones, 
I suppose narrow band should be sufficient and there should not be any 
transcoding in this case.

Cheers.
