TLDR; if FS is slow enough to cause financial strain, you need a new business model.
For a single number (and a few others have told me similar numbers), using dual socket Xeon 5400 systems (stock Dell whatevers), no tuning, using xml_cdr and
xml_curl (for dialplan), we seemed to top out at around 500-1000 calls/sec, no media (on FS 1.2). I have personally seen a Q6600 running Windows inside Hyper-V do 500 sessions/sec on pre-1.2 (no media).
One tip: Run separate FS processes on their own IP; usually one FS process per couple of cores. There’s a few hotspots (event headers) that could be reworked
with a bit of time (read: money) if you need faster signaling. For RTP, I don’t really know but people seem happy. And if RTP was a bottleneck, again, with some money you could get a kernel-bypass usermode RTP stack and attain happiness. Maybe.
But all the caveats listed below still apply. Generally FreeSWITCH is “fast enough” and servers are so cheap ($400 or so?) you can always toss another one in
the mix so it doesn’t seem to bother most people in production unless you’re obsessed with perf for some reason.

As ik sais it depends much on your hardware but more on the network capabilities...

That depends on so many levels, that without knowing exactly what you require, will be impossible to answer.
For example bandwidth for VoIP is a factor, IO speed, memory, cpu, other processes, how and what you do with your settings, and more.
If you'll create a PoC with what you require it to have, then you'll be better in understanding what you are capable of having.
That btw true for every type of system, and not just FS.
