Brian, there was not one insulting word in anything I have said and as this is a community mailing list my replies are always voiced to address the public in general not you specifically, like I already mentioned in my last post.<br>
<br>If you open a public forum on a FAQ be prepared to hear our policy.<br><br>Indeed many people do unrealistic load testing and most people with strong will find it insulting when a group of people have a set of standard policy by which they try to deal with making a penny jar for all the 2 cents worth of input we get on a daily basis. I can't begin to iterate over all the cases we endure on a weekly basis.<br>
<br>additionally 90% of bug reports are on older releases and we always make people reproduce their issues on SVN trunk because 3 core devs and a handful of helpers can't maintain 20 versions of the code.<br><br>I gave you some really suggestions yesterday let me repaste it, I fail to see any insults:<br>
<br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>What exactly is your test process?<br><br>you should try increasing the interval in the conference profile to a bigger time slice maybe 30 40 or 60ms<br>
you could also increase the ptime to match as well.<br><br><br>like brian said you could use mod_shout to broadcast the single speaker to icecast and let people listen with itunes/winamp<br><br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>I have to get in these "fights" with people constantly so I guess that is part of my job and my biggest mistake is spending so much time trying to explain myself.<br>

Just so you know, Tony deals with people on a near daily basis who want to spend time doing crazy schemes under the guise of "load testing" or "researching a new solution" which are not grounded in reality. At first blush this scenario sounded like one of those schemes. However it definitely looks like you've built a test scenario that mimics reality better than most. I think we can give you a pass for not being able to get 500 people all at once to call in every time you need to test. :) <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">My scenario is not a hypothetical one of “having robots
call the conference in a way that probably does not match reality”. In
fact, this will very much reflect the reality of the application I’m
building. Only instead of 300 listeners, I need to scale to over 2000 listeners
minimum – per event, with possibly more than one concurrent event. I want
to pack as many listeners on one server as I can. I’m trying to find a
real solution to a real problem.</span></p></div></div></blockquote></div><div>That kind of volume suggests that the icecast style solution would be best. It takes much less resources to send audio in one direction than it does to mix audio from multiple parties. I like bkw's initial suggestion of transferring a caller to the conference only when he/she needs to speak, such as to ask a question. Like Tony mentioned, his focus is on quality not quantity, so mod_conference probably isn't the best tool for this scenario.<br>

It looks like we don't already have a canned solution, obviously, but as bkw likes to say, all the Lego bricks are there to build the solution. Hop on IRC (#freeswitch in <a href="http://irc.freenode.net" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a>) or join the weekly conference which is going on right now and you might catch some of the devs and leading community members and you can chat in real-time about your challenges.
