[cisco-voip] Cisco AS5400XM

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I could be wrong, but as far as I understand, you don't need DSPs if you're doing VoIP only. Only if you're doing PSTN (PRI, FXO) or transcoding on the router itself. It doesn't look like you have any PSTN ports on order, that's why I ask. 

Like I said, I could be wrong.

Cisco did come back with a quote for a Cisco 3925 as a potential 
solution. I've heard and spoke to people who have used the AS5400XM 
device with an Asterisk PBX, but haven't heard any reports on the 
3925. Should I be concerned or does anyone have any experience with 
this type of device as a gateway to Asterisk using SIP? 

Quote included: 

(1) Cisco 3925 w/ SPE100(3GE, 4EHWIC, 4DSP, 2SM, 256MBCF, 1GBDRAM, IPB) 
(1) PVDM3-256 (256-channel high density voice and video DSP module) 
(2) VWIC3-4MFT-T1/E1 (4-Port 3rd Gen Multiflex Trunk Voice/WAN 
interface card - T1/E1) 

They also said using using the AS5400XM with a DS3 I should be 
concerned about more than 30 calls per second coming across the 
system. Has anyone has experience with that? 

Thanks in advance, everyone has been very helpful so far.
