[OpenSIPS-Users] Scalability and radiusclient-ng

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Iñaki,

The correct association is : a opensips process handles a single SIP 
message (request or reply) at a time.

So, if you have 10 children, your opensips will not be able to process 
more than 10 SIP messages at a time.

Regards,
Bogdan
