When a conference is started it will only happen if there is a resource that can handle the max number of participants for that conference. In your example I would expect that the second conference gets created on the software CFB rather than on the DSPFarm (assuming 12 party max conference size). </div><div><br></div><div>"<span class="content">A conference based on these DSPs allows a maximum
of 8 participants. When a conference begins, all 8 positions are
reserved at that time. Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T, this
limit on the maximum number of participants has been increased to 32.
