Simultaneous 2-way callsThis roughly translates into processing power.  The number of 2-way simultaneous calls possible will vary depend on how your server is used.  There are no limits placed on the number of simultaneous calls that can be attempted.  This is a rough estimate of the hardware limits that can be encountered. 

Compression / decompression (transcoding) requires the most processing power.  For example, transcoding can occur when MP3 files are used for music on hold and when phone conversations take place between SIP phones and/or trunks using different compression methods.

» Other capabilities and features
NAT/Firewall TraversalUsing SIP phones or SIP software behind routers and firewalls, in airports, at cafes, at home etc. to connect to our Asterisk servers is generally not a problem because of the way our system is designed.  This is a huge advantage over office servers which are typically hard to connect to externally with SIP phones and require special settings on the firewall/router and on the Asterisk server.
10/100Mb Internet ConnectionEach virtual server has a 10Mb/s up & 10Mb/s down connection to the internet.  The physical server itself has a 100Mb/s up & 100Mb/s down internet connection.
Conference CallingAsterisk conference calling is included on all distributions except Trixbox due to a technical limitation with Trixbox.  Some additional configuration may be necessary on our servers in some instances and will be provided on request.
TUN/TAP & G729TUN/TAP is a requirement for OpenVPN.  If you want to register an existing Digium G729 license on the server there is a custom requirement.  Let us know if you plan to use either of these so we can enable the feature for you.
