Jonathon, I am not sure your exact needs re capacity, but we do have a very low cost SBC software only SBC. When we acquired Covergence we picked up a full feature SBC which will do all of your needs out of the box (or off the shelf - so to speak). This is a software only feature and is called the NNOSE. Acme packet does not sell this software directly and it can only be purchased through our channels of distribution. It starts at about $3K for a minimum configuration for about 25 sessions. Its maximum capacity is 500 sessions and you can upgrade in blocks of 10 (maybe it's 25)? Anyhow, it is a known product which requires little to no work to make work.
From your list of needs below, it would appear that the opensource stuff won't fit your bill.
Anyhow, I am happy to assist if I can. Good luck.

You can try OpenSBC, but I must say... your best bet is Acme. -Nathan ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:00:53 -0500 From: Lee Riemer <lriemer at bestline.net> To: Jonathan Thurman <jonathan at thurmantech.com> Cc: VoiceOps <voiceops at voiceops.org> Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Open source SBC Solutions?

While it does depend on what you need it for, there are some folks using Asterisk as a budget SBC. It doesn't perform exactly the same role as an SBC, but often can provide a base set for functionality like transcoding, CDR centralization, or topology disguise.
