[Freeswitch-users] Network Card

[Ken Rice]

1000 CPS the NIC is not the bottle neck this is actually relatively small
amount of TCP/UDP traffic for just the SIP message.

Now the RTP @ 1000 calls on the other hand assuming G711 at 20ms ptime. And
assuming 1 leg calls originating from a dialer would generate 80megabits of
RTP (at the IP layer even more on the wire), and approx 50K PPS. Assuming 2
leg¹d calls bridging media 160megabit and 100K PPS of just RTP...

But then we have to extrapolate peak concurrent from 1000 CPS... Assuming
dialer traffic again, 75% ASR and 20 second ACD, and lets assume the 25% are
just hard failed for the calculation (no early media on these) that gives us
750 new calls/sec and over the course of 20 seconds we accumulate 15,000
concurrent calls..

So lets take that and extrapolate bandwidth and PPS requirements for single
leg¹d calls of 1.43Gig/sec (on the wire) and 750K PPS so that¹s going to
exceed the bandwidth of a GIG-E connection so you¹d have to break this into
2 RTP endpoints in sofia, and make sure you switches/routers could handle
the PPS loads. 

Double that to 2 leg calls and you have 2.86G/sec of RTP (again on the wire
including UDP, IP, ethernet framing over heads) and pushing 1.5million PPS.

Here again this dictates at least 3 gig-e NICs on your FS box. Is this
possible? I¹m sure it is with the right hardware configuration... But lets
step back a minute and really consider what is going on...

You are now putting approx over $2000/hr of traffic on a very expensive box
that can and will at some point fail. Why are you doing such a thing? You¹re
better off limiting rates to sub 1000 CPS, (say 500CPS) deploying 3 boxes to
handle the load in n+1 configuration, and if you lose a box you arent losing
$2000+ in revenue and cranky customers while you repair/replace the now dead
machine.

Lets face it, you can purchase a colo a nice machine for say 200 to
300$/month (assuming bandwidth costs are the same as above so that¹s a wash
instead of trying to cram it all on box that ends up costing you 1000/month
by the time you pay for the hardware and colocation expenses for it.
