Just playing along with the whole "we can't get real hardware" idea: - Try a 32-bit build, this may decrease memory usage significantly. - You didn't mention how the memory is actually used (is that 85% physically mapped?). Each thread gets a 240K (I think) allocation by default. You might try reducing that, but you'll need to test it and make sure you don't start overflowing. As much as I disagree with the "ten-thousand-threads" model, FS isn't going to change it anytime soon (and hey, it's working). And, I am at a loss as to what business model has so many calls, and can't afford a $500 server. So, just buy a server and move on. -Michael ------- It is not so much the cps but the concurrent calls. I am looking at maintaining a 30 cps with a 5 min. avg. call length which results in a sustained 9000 concurrent calls. This results in 85% mem. usage on a 4 GB machine, However CPU is at 25% (total) on a dual core with hyper threading. Current hardware does not support increase memory. I am striving for about 75% cpu (appox. 90 cps).

I notice that mod_sofia creates threads for each call leg to maintain session context. Do you know of a way to configure FreeSWITCH to use a table to maintain the context when in media bypass mode to reduce the number of threads? I am hoping that this will speed things up by reducing thread context switching and reduce memory usage by decreasing memory allocation for each thread.
