Performance tests of 16E1s SS7 Sangoma Media Gateway

Sponsored by:

Abstract:

In this article we present performance data on 16E1 SS7 setup based on Sangoma's SMG & Asterisk as a voice application server.
CPU usage and Unix system load are analysed as a function of number of calls in the answered state both for centralized & distributed setup. Load analysis shows that in a distributed setup a Dual Core 3GHz AMD Opteron server has enough resources to handle full 16E1 load with room for additional applications like SIP termination.
