What are you testing against? What OS, Hardware, Distro and such?
NOTE No 2 : I tried using asterisk (as a point of reference - don't get me wrong - I am not trying to start a flame war here). And it succeeded doing on the same hardware 60 calls/sec with a channel limit of 400 sim. calls using only 50% of the cpu (maximum). No under any circumstances I have seen the behavior above (this inability to hang call legs in a timely manner). Even when I pushed asterisk to the limits (80 calls per second 600 max call limit) and it started failing on some calls it never failed to hangup the calls for both legs on exactly 10 secs.
Load testing is a science and you can do it wrong most of the time unless you know exactly what you're doing. If you're going against the default dialplan its heavy and not something I would load test against.
NOTE No 3 : As you can tell I was using a very small machine for my tests. When I moved the same tests to larger installations (Quad Core Opterons and Xeons) I got proportional results to the above.
What are you testing on now? Hope its 64bit. Brian West brian@freeswitch.org -- Meet us at ClueCon! http://www.cluecon.com
