hi everybody,

i'm interested to know if anyone employed FS as a local exchange switch. i'm confident FS can handle several calls using RTP by-pass mode. however, i'm more concerned on handling the large dialplan with hundreds (or even a few thousand) exchange prefixes nationwide during call setup.

i'd be glad to hear experiences and suggestions esp on the hardware dimensioning. we're talking a small exchange up to about 1,100 lines only, mostly linked to the main exchange via MFC-R2.

tks,
nandy

Isn't  Telco Bridges using it as a switch?

We have probably ~100k prefixes in our LCR. We don't put these in the
dialplan directly; instead, they live in a database and we have an
external application which routes calls. FreeSWITCH has mod_lcr which I
would imagine will do the same sort of thing; we don't use it because it
wasn't around when we started.

I'd caution against trying to put thousands of prefixes in the dialplan:
I'd guess that matching each call against some thousands of regexes
during call setup might get expensive.

That'd depend on the number of concurrent calls you need to budget for -
taking it that 1,100 lines implies maybe 1-200 simultaneous calls, then
one low-end modern server (Core 2 Duo, etc.) ought to do just fine.

hi dave,

tks for sharing us this info. i don't think we can reach 10k prefixes but your deployment to use external database or mod_lcr is the way to go. re hardware, i think core2 platform would be enough cuz it will be in a rural installation. i'm sure it wont reach 200 simultaneous calls.

FS community is really great!

tks once again,
nandy
