Hi Jan and Edison, Thank you for the information once I have configured up a system I will post the specifications and results of my testing. Thanks, Matt -----Original Message----- From: Jan Willamowius [mailto:jan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, 31 October 2009 12:32 AM To: openh323gk-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: System Requirements for video conferencing Hi Matthew, GnuGk works fine on virtual servers. I use VMWare a lot to test in different environments and it also works in the Amazon EC2 cloud. But as Edson said, beware of timing issues on your RTP traffic. As for system requirements, your bottle neck will be CPU and network throughput. As a value to compare with, a dual core Xenon 2GHz that handles 50 calls at 384kbps gets about 50% CPU load. So you would probably need about 4 times that CPU power. Please let us know how your experiments go, so we have another data point how much power is needed for that kind of load.
