[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH 100% CPU utilization

Sun Apr 9 05:03:23 MSD 2017

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your response.

You make a fair point. I was making some assumptions.

I wasn't really reporting an issue, though. At the time of the post I was
asking questions about ways to leverage more of the CPU cores due to a
misconception I had on how that was being done. Partially, the wording on
the wiki is what led me to that incorrect assumption.

Subsequently, FreeSWITCH stopped running, for one reason or another, and
upon restarting, the issue was gone. I felt a duty to report that for the
archives, should someone else encounter a similar problem in the future.

For the record/archives, both the OS and the FreeSWITCH versions are
ancient; Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, with FreeSWITCH version 1.2.14. They are both
earmarked for upgrades later this year.

Sorry for wasting your guys' time.

Regards,
Örn
