Hi Brian et al,
I just want to say that the wiki is not wrong. Although, as Anthony noted
in a previous thread on this matter, FS only needs 240K to work but you
still can increase the stack size to 8192K following the instructions on
the wiki page without problems, as seen bellow:
UP 0 years, 2 days, 20 hours, 20 minutes, 43 seconds, 191 milliseconds, 414
microseconds
FreeSWITCH (Version 1.2.22 64bit) is ready
203013 session(s) since startup
89 session(s) - peak 239, last 5min 126
2 session(s) per Sec out of max 100, peak 24, last 5min 9
2000 session(s) max
min idle cpu 0.00/91.00
Current Stack Size/Max *240K/8192K*
Best Regards,
