Okay. I got two replies from Shelby R. and Ken
R. I presume these two answers do not conflict? I gather from these
replies is that FS has 3 modes: 1) FS is a complete stand-alone system
(i.e. FS interacts with media stream), 2) FS is a media_proxy (i.e. FS simply
receives/transmits media but does not process it), 3) FS is in bypass media mode
where FS tells both endpoints to send media directly to each other (i.e. no
media handling packet handling at all).
In mode 3), How do the IVR, Voice Mail,
Eavesdropping, MOH and central conferencing features work? Would it
use an external media server(s)?
Also, Ken you mentioned "clusters". What is a
cluster? What system(s) are you running the 20K concurrent calls at 2000
calls/sec rate? Which of the three modes are you running the server
when recording these statistics?
Thanks and Best
Regards,
Jerry
It is possible to do such a think via a number of
mechanisms. Remember FS can operate in 3 modes, standard mode where we can do
transcoding and interact with the media stream, or proxy_media mode where we
just proxy the media packet in packet out, and bypass_media mode where we tell
the end points to send the media directly to each other.
This allows
for some interesting scalability (we have clusters running in excess of 20K
concurrent calls at call rates in excess of 2000 calls/sec)

[Freeswitch-dev] Scalabilty of Freeswitch
Also on a related
issue (since I am a novice to Freeswitch), regardless of statistics on number
of extensions per system per configuration, I had a more general
question:
That is, does Freeswitch allow for distribution of loading (e.g.
supports interface to media servers running on separate machines)? Also,
I imagine the SIP signaling part must always be a standalone machine that
manages all extensions?
Best Regards,
Jerry

Maybe it would be a good idea to create wiki page just
to put such kind of information in a table:
Computer specs |
Other comments | Codecs used | With/Without Media | Max sim. calls
reached | etc
That way interested persons could get a grasp what is
really all about.
This is very common
question based on which many people measure switch capabilities, so in
my opinion should be treated with that in mind (as marketing
oportunity)

Hello
All,
Does anyone know what the capacity of a stand-alone
Freeswitch (assuming a
top-of-the-line server), in terms of how
many users?
You can have many hundreds of
users, but there are a lot of factors: network infrastructure, call
volume, etc.
Also, when that number is exceeded,
how can Freeswitch server be distributed
to accommodate a larger
installation?
Yes there are strategies. You
definitely want a professional to assist if this is a serious
production environment. There are members of the FS community who do
this sort of thing, or you could email consulting@freeswitch.org to
get assistance from the core FS
developers.
