Hello,
I understand that machines processing RTP are recommended to be physical machines. Does the same apply for machines just proxy'ing RTP? Also, after how many RTP session would you start noticing issues with RTP when using rtpproxy on a virtual VMware machine?
Regard,
Grant

There is no firm answer to that, but there seems to be widespread consensus that something like 'rtpproxy', especially being a user space process, benefits from access to native hardware, versus the jittery and unreliable intermediated I/O scheduling and contention inside a VM environment.
