Hello John,
100 CPS with your usual ACD should by no means require more than 1 GB of
RAM, dialog/transaction support included. Could you please monitor the
"dialog:" and "tm:" statistics and take notice if either dialogs or
transactions start piling up? I vaguely remember such bugs in some
versions prior to 1.11 (keep in mind this was 5 years ago!)
The statistics output has not changed from 1.9 to 2.3, so Nagios won't
mind an upgrade. Therefore, I would suggest you invest a few hours,
install some fresh 2.3.3 packages from the YUM/apt repositories along
with a separate database and an updated configuration file, then switch
it with the old OpenSIPS and see how it purrs. If you have a testing
lab, that's all the more better.
Best regards,
Liviu Chircu
