It measures quality of service at different points on the network by simulating synthetic phone traffic. This is a true simulator using real RTP frames, sent at standard frame rates over UDP with RTP ports. That ensures the QoS engineering in the network will treat the stream the same as normal VoIP Traffic - in contrast to an ICMP Pinger. Add on Traffic Blaster stress tests the quality of service experience for each point on the network, when a traffic simulation is performed, by provding extra controlled loading of VoIP and non VoIP traffic.

Key Features This is a true simulator using real RTP frames, sent at standard frame rates over UDP with RTP ports. That ensures the QoS engineering in the network will treat the stream the same as normal VoIP Traffic - in contrast to an ICMP Pinger. Key Benefits Prevents unnecessary project delays Prevents future maintenance costs, keeping IT budgets on schedule Prevents customer or client dissatisfaction with the start up of the VoIP network. Key Functions Two autoVoIP systems are needed to use this facility: One to run the Traffic Simulator One to respond to the traffic, i.e., send back RTCP reports on the received traffic The remote end reports back using RTCP, in the same way a phone would. This method allows the autoVoIP system (and if required a third party) to measure jitter and frame loss Access automated Correlation Engine via the History Chart to find root causes Access report facility via the History Chart Multiple simulators may be defined to check multiple paths, such as remote sites on an occasional or continuous basis Can simulate multiple Codec’s from one generator test stream Codec range = Codec’s listed in Codec settings script (Configure/System branch of VoIP tree) Build traffic simulators* - view the results associated with running the simulators* Simulators provide user control of : Target address Priority (DiffServ) Simulated phone jitter buffer Codec used in statistics calculation show the impact on QoS when the Codec is changed Requirements Traffic Simulator (Source PC) Attached to a free port on a switch User creates and enables a "simulator" to send RTP frames to IP address of a probe Simulator can include jitter buffer setting Probe (Sink PC) Attached to a free port on a switch Probe receives RTP packets and emulates a VoIP phone by sending RTCP packet to Traffic Simulator Host PC User can drill down to view the History Charts for selected statistics - by clicking on the relevant history icon for a selected simulator

Traffic Blaster Quality of Service (QoS) analysis - at a glance, see if VoIP is within safe limits, marginal or likely to be seriously degraded (6 color bands used) Sends out competitive traffic and non competitive traffic - to see what the QoS would be for a single user when different levels of VoIP and non VoIP traffic are present Multiple Traffic Simulators/Traffic Blaster systems can be used to emulate groups of phones at different locations on the network and monitor the QoS Safety facility, to ensure it does not send traffic out indefinitely - runs for 24 hours unmanned, stops and can be restarted manually, locally or remotely, for another 24 hours run Can be used to measure the effect of adding more phones to an existing VoIP system Distributed loading can be used to match the exact phone deployment together with independent QoS monitoring at each deployment cluster site Automatically explores the limits of the network, using autoCheck Mode it shows the QoS degradation as traffic patterns are automatically explored Automatically checks the QoS engineering using a sophisticated load generation algorithm Load specified by phone/codec using easy to understand phone counts Supports a number of Codecs, including: G711 - 64k G723 - 6.3k G729 - 8k Additional ones can be added Traffic loading may also be specified as bandwidth or frame loading QoS is measured in parallel for all simulation sites on the network giving a true indication of the behavior of the whole phone deployment Codima Correlation Engine provides an expert system to analyze the QoS graphs Results can be exported to HTML Reports
