[OpenSIPS-Users] opensips on esx?

[lists at grounded.net]

So this isn't a problem with latency then?

My plan was to have only one opensips guest on each host. I just want the benefits of the vm guest but don't need to run anything else on the host so that everything can be given to that one guest. The machines would be dual CPU with plenty of memory. I'm not quite clear yet on what opensips requirements are for resources other than obviously, very good I/O.
