<div dir="ltr">exactly, im doing the test on a virtual box, double the CPU from quad-core to oct-core, the test scenario is simple, making calls at a speed of 28calls per sec, play sound file at PCMU codec for 150 sec after connected, then hangup and repeat.<div style>
<br></div><div style>i've heard people stress tests FS with over 2000 concurrent calls, so i think there should be some way i can make my FS box more powerful, but things seem not gonna be easy to do.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">

I concur with quality lan card advice, namely intel. Also, what is<br>
your system's "clocksource0" -- both available and current.<br>
