It scales very well since it was designed from ground-up for performance 
and robustness. Artifical tests show that on modern hardware it is able 
to handle some 2,000 simulateneous calls, so that even applying real 
world discounts you should be able to sustain 1,000 simulateneous 
sessions without any problems.

Yes, it is correct, but rtpproxy is quite simple component so that in 
normal operational conditions there are no or very small probability 
that it will crash or hang. We have been testing it extensively in 
production conditions during the last 10 months and never observed any 
problems due to it. I think that iptel.org also uses it extensively in 
their service and so far they never reported any stability problems to me.

However, fallover can be relatively easy implemented.
