[Spce-user] CPU timing in virtual enviroments

[Walter Klomp]

Hi,

I have had no such problems on virtual hardware. Just make sure you load the dahdi module and make sure asterisk uses it (which it should by default if it’s loaded in kernel).

Look here:

I know that the Sipwise guys and anyone else contributing to media relay projects probably see this as incredibly simple, but to me, I doesn't make sense that with all the new hardware available based around virtualization, to be able to have reliable timing sources or small enough timing resolutions to take 2x  20ms packets align, merge their sound them and send them to other system.
