Back a number of years ago when I took training with BellCore on traffic measurement for other common carrier the suggested technique for this was to take your traffic for 20 business days, whacked up into hourly readings and average the hourly readings. Done as a rolling average you can track the trends up and down in your traffic.
One voice channel fully occupied for an hour is 3600 seconds of calling. The arithmetic from there is simple. This, by the way, is the basic measurements that TPC uses to provision a central office. There are some additional things involved like peakedness and erlang tables, but you'll get into the ballpark with the just this simple calculation technique.

Hi Ray,
You are right with estimations.
I'm looking for an indication of having GNUGK in carrier grade production environment. But I'm not looking for putting 300-500 call setups per second to a single GK :)
It could be nice :), but... not realistic.

3. Do any body using GNUGK for carrier grade traffic (~10M minutes a day)?
i run production traffic but nothing close to this level. based on your estimates i assume the followint..
300M mins per month would require 600 to 1000 E1s of termination capacity which would be 18000 to 30000 individual DS0s
you would need the same amount of origination GWs registered with the system.
with a healthy 50% ASR for termination i assume you have to double the above
amount of call attempts. so you would need to process maybe 600 million calls.
i am not the most qualified to answer this but i could not imagine runing
this amount of traffic on 1 machine.
regards ray
