[SIPForum-discussion] What results are reasonable? (SIPp/Asterisk)

[Huntley, Larry J]

Using SIPp vs. Asterisk with a scenario like the one shown below, 
what sort of calls/sec rates can one expect to achieve?  Order of
magnitude numbers are fine - 10 cps, 100 cps, 1000 cps?

I've gotten 40+ cps with no failed calls, but can't seem to get
much beyond that - and don't really know if I should expect to.

Thanks very much,
