I know, and I'm truly sorry for that. I wish I could go into more
details, it really is fascinating (at least to me!).

The hardware is generic and I don't see any reason
FreeSWITCH/Asterisk/anything else couldn't achieve the same performance.
Hence my question: "Have you even tried?" I would have liked the OP to
post some benchmarking results to start the discussion, but it looks as
though he just assumed that software couldn't possibly attain his
required performance level. If that is true, then providing a rough idea
of what level of performance software can attain *is* indeed helping the OP.
