  • 1.  Tools used for SIP Load Generation Testing

    Posted 06-25-2021 12:05 PM

    Hello IAUG Community -

    I am wondering who all uses a software tool to generate SIP Load testing on their Avaya systems, and if so which tool do you use?

    We are looking to start doing load testing on our Lab Systems with some call scenarios, to monitor specific aspects of how the system responds and handles the traffic.

    We aren't looking for a full blown tool like some of the Monitoring/Reporting companies offer, but just a specific tool for load generation. 

    Thanks,

    So Tom - 

    Is this one you all use at Nordstroms or ? If so, do you like it? Was it easy to setup?

    I have not personally set up or used SIPP.  A google search for SIPP tutorial will likely give you all you need to know.  From my own reading of accounts written by people benchmarking their Freeswitch and Asterisk servers, their go to tool appears to be SIPP.

    James,
    One more thought on your load testing question.  In 2020 at the Phoenix IAUG conference, Tyler Preder presented "Load Testing with SIPp"  If you attended and got the presentations, it was breakout session #812.
    Hope all is well,
