If the nic's have their own bus you could do that to improve network performance of sip signaling and media... now the neat thing would be to have an option to have say three network interfaces and have FreeSWITCH round robin them per call. I smell a bounty. /b On Feb 6, 2009, at 5:19 PM, Gabriel Kuri wrote:

Hey Folks:

For a FS box that's generally handling higher amounts of inbound/outbound call traffic (say 500 - 700 calls) and registrations (30 - 50 per second), is it recommended to split off the signaling and media traffic onto separate NICs for performance reasons? Or is it better to split all the traffic for the phones and outside traffic to carriers into separate profiles and split those profiles onto separate NICs? or perhaps none of the above and there's still a better solution I didn't mention ;) ?

Thanks,

Gabe
