John,
     
        I thought I had made this clear. The worst case scenario (being the 
     reboot case) I was not overly worried about (unfortunately that is how 
     my QA dept tests our products, being the worst case :(. 
     
     However, receiving 50 calls almost simultaneously actually exists 
     today in my customer's networks. And this really is a problem is 
     public key technology.
     
     PatC

Pat, I think you're missing part of the equation.  What is the call 
setup rate of a Lucent 5ESS?  Yes, it's more than 6/second.  But can 
it really setup 3000 calls per second?  I doubt it, particularly in 
the configurations (number of CPU's) that a telco would be likely to 
deploy.
     
Lucent doesn't appear to put detailed specifications on their WWW 
site, and I don't really feel like calling their sales office...
