Hi Daniel, I'm running FreeSWITCH on KVM (Debian 7 Guest / Proxmox hosts and RHEL 6 hosts) without problems, even conferences and softfax (stuff where I assume timing is more critical) works very well. I exercised some caution when configuring the VM though, I don't know if all those things are necessary, best practice or even useful, but they result from some experience with strange timing in VMs: I have set up mod_timerfd, although I don't know if it's any different from using enable-softtimer-timerfd in core: freeswitch@default> show timer type,name,ikey timer,soft,CORE_SOFTTIMER_MODULE timer,timerfd,mod_timerfd My guest kernel supports linking the guest clock source to the host, so I don't have any issues with clock drifting away and don't need NTP in the guest. Maybe this also affects FreeSWITCH's ability to keep time? root@freeswitch:~# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource kvm-clock On systems that don't need the CPU power, I make sure only one virtual CPU exists and/or pin the guest CPUs to host CPUs. Maybe the most useful thing to check is to switch the virtual NIC in KVM, I usually try to use virtio where possible, but hat strange issues before (like a DHCP Server VM not seeing DISCOVERs with virtio NIC while the same VM with e1000 worked fine). So, maybe try to switch NIC type and see if it helps. Currently I'm using FreeSWITCH on both e1000 and virtio without issues.

I am running multiple FS nodes on virtualmachines and sometimes am getting choppy audio and network delays when network conditions are perfect. Do you think it's worth migrating the instances to bare metal and will i notice improvement in call quality?
