I fully understand the nature of a timeshare system... they go way back before AS400's... I used them on DEC PDP11's. Indeed you can't make sure that one instance isn't 'hogging' CPU unless there's an even distribution of time / cpu unit. That being said, it has been implied that FS should work on a large AWS instance... I'm trying to get to the bottom of how many users and how large a system questions that we have. I just have basic timing problems at this point with very small conference bridges on a m1.large AWS instance. Granted, I don't know what the rest of the server is doing but these are pretty consistent problems. Mike On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 11:47 AM, Ken Rice <krice@freeswitch.org> wrote:
Actually, consider this, you have 1 server running 10 different instances for 10 different people and as AWS you have to try and be level handed about how you hand out instances on a single node in your cloud cluster...
How do you make sure that instance 1 isnt hogging all the CPU time that instances 9 – 10 need?
This is the nature of a timeshare system... This goes back to AS400s SYS 34’s and 36’s... Don’t get me wrong I think AWS, and cloud computing in general can be great for certain things (store and forward), but do you really want to chance the interruptions in RealTime media streaming where any delay in processing causes missed or dropped packets...

Hi guys,
Trying to get to the bottom of some conference bridge issues I'm having with running the system in AWS.
We're hearing a bunch of snap-crackle-pops in conference bridges and when I tcpdum on the server itself I see them in the RTP and see RTP timestamp problems.
I've run the following:

are the xenU kernel settings screwing me here?
