    Just curious: Is there a reason to avoid Metaswitch? <br>
    <br>
    My main experience is in Metaswitch and Sonus, but in Metaswitch it
    was limited to the 2510 and 3510 gateways and the accompanying
    servers up to 7.4 software and none of the newer blade platforms. At
    the time I would have said that Metaswitch would have worked quite
    well for what is being asked, especially if wanting to split across
    many smaller gateways and geographically distributed. Is there
    something with the new hardware and/or software I don't know about
    quality-wise?<br>
    <br>
    Sonus killed off the GSX4000 which would have lent better to
    spreading around a bunch of smaller boxes. They still have the
    GSX9000 which goes up to single OC-3 cards (so you'd have to have a
    couple to split an OC-48 still), but their main push seems to be the
    SBC5210 and SBC7000 which are IP only, no TDM. But spread across
    gateways the call processing can easily do the 500 CPS. <br>
