	~~'''UNDER CONSTRUCTION'''~~

	Performance is a popular and key component of the decision to adopt a particular brand or model of media gateway. While popular, the notion of performance for the purposes of comparison is often hard to nail down. This is due to both the underlying details of the hardware being compared as well as the applications and production environments that are unique to each service provider. There is not even a commonly accepted, universal, 'metric' for comparing performance across systems. The most frequently heard one, 'calls per second' can actually refer to many things. For our purposes, we will focus on bridged calls per second (BCPS).		Performance is a popular and key component of the decision to adopt a particular brand or model of media gateway.

			==Limiting the call rate ==
			=== Available limits ===
			The Toolpack system (toolpack_engine application) allows to throttle the call rate:
			* Per NAP
			** Maximum call legs per second
			** Maximum simultaneous incoming, outgoing and/or total calls
			* Per TMedia unit
			** Maximum call legs per second (per protocol type or total)
			You will find appropriate configuration parameters in the Web Portal configuration pages under 'NAP' and 'Hardware' sections.

			=== Algorithm used ===
			The algorithm to limit the call rate is based on the 'leaky bucket' algorithm. Two values define the algorithm behavior:
			* (A) Maximum calls per second
			* (B) Maximum calls burst
			Tokens are added to the bucket at a regular rate of (A) per second, until the bucket contains a maximum of 'B' tokens.
			When an incoming call is received, or outgoing call needs to be made, a token is taken from the bucket, or the call is refused if the bucked is empty.

			This allows to absorb call bursts of up to (B) consecutive calls without dropping any calls, and also protects from an average call rate that's higher than (A) calls per second.

			=== Typical usage ===
			Call rate limiting is generally used to avoid overloading a system's CPU (local TMedia unit or remote system) by sending too many calls per second.
			Local system is generally protected using a per-adapter limit.
			Remote system is generally protected using a per-NAP limit.

			Maximum simultaneous calls limit is generally used to protect a NAP from being overloaded. It's frequently used for SIP NAPs to avoid RTP bandwidth to exceeds the capacity of the IP network. It's less frequently used for ISDN, CAS or SS7 as the number of CICs in the NAP already provides a limit to the number of simultaneous calls.
