When you say high number of calls per second, what are you referring to...

There are people in our industry that think high is 30 and there are people who think high is 10000. Can you give an order of magnitude?

We are currently testing with 50 calls per second(cps) and Plivo just eats it up! We'll crank it up more later this month. I don't know what is the max cps Plivo can handle though.

I doubt anyone knows max cps numbers on any platform. It's usually a question of adding more servers until the software breaks, but there are lots of strategies. It always comes back to design.

Thanks for sharing :).
