Hi Matt,

As you said, is this will work like this?

1. Student A will login in a conference room no 7789
2. Student B will login in a conference room no 7789
3. Student C will login in a conference room no 7789
4. Instructor for student A,B and C will login in a conference room no. 6689
5. When the instructor click a button the 7789 conference and 6689
conference will be merged in a listen mode

Am I correct? If I am wrong please correct me. Thanks

Hello,

I have actually done this both ways, with many small conferences and
few large conferences.

The best example of both is the "voice_lab" feature that is included
with VICIDIAL(although not very well documented). What this feature
does is it has students log into individual meetme rooms and then have
an instructor dial into their own meetme room. When the students are
all logged in and the instructor is ready the instructor clicks a
button to initiate calls from all of the student meetme rooms to the
instructor meetme room where they are in listen-only mode and the
instructor speaks english phrases which the students then repeat in
their own conference.

The reason this is set up this way is to allow for supervisor
monitoring of individual students as well as recording of each student
individually as they hear and repeat the phrases.

This application is in use in telemarketing schools in the Philippines
to help students learn to better speak American English.

I have tested this to 120 channels going into the instructor meetme
room across 6 servers.

Hope that helps,

MATT---

Hello,

We have done this using IAX trunks between Asterisk servers to
connect

a PRI line on server A with a meetme room on server B. We have had
hundreds of participants in meetme rooms across a dozen Asterisk
servers using this method.

Not knowing your setup I'm not sure if this would work easily for
you,

but this is a somewhat-easy, scalable method for expanding meetme
capacity.


Is it correct to understand that in your setup, a given conference only
ever exists on a single server (presumably the one used by the first
caller), and that calls arriving on a different server are proxied
individually to whichever server is hosting the requested conference?

I can see that this would be quite easy, and would work well for lots
of smallish conferences, but might be a bit heavy for a system running
a small number of huge conferences. In the latter case, I want to look
at having a local conference on each box and bridging the conferences
together. This is the bit that gets complicated for making conf-wide
decisions Smile

Cheers

Tony

Has anyone here done any work on clustering Meetme conferences over
multiple Asterisk boxes? The scenario I am thinking of is where

somehow linking matching Meetme conferences on both/all boxes.

Particular complications I can envisage are the handling of marked

(A, w and x options), call recording (r option), and MeetmeAdmin
operations such as mute all and unmute all.
