</div>I remember mentioning similar numbers at a FreeSWITCH presentation in<br>
the Netherlands a few years back (but only after verifying the numbers<br>
several times with Anthony and Brian since they were quite hefty). At<br>
the presentation oej was in the audience and when I mentioned those<br>
numbers he jumped up and said "impossible!". That was a fun discussion.<br>
I referred him to Anthony but never heard if he actually did and if he<br>
accepted those numbers to be true.<br>

</div>I would not. And I prefer Gigabit Ethernet over an OC12 link any day.<br>
But if you use something like a Stratus box then it should be possible<br>
to get at least 5 nines availability. The question is off course if such<br>
a solution is financially viable as those Stratus boxes don't come cheap.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The problem with Stratus would be not only are they very expensive, but their configurations tend to not be the highest end CPUs/RAM configs without a Fortune500 size budget... </div>
