Ixia, a supplier of IP test systems, has announced the next generation in residential and business VoIP testing.
The company claims the IxLoad Voice matches the capacity of modern media gateways with a 1 million SIP- and RTP-based endpoints per chassis.
IxLoad tests VoIP network components, including IP-based PBXs, softswitches, call managers, session border controllers, and media gateways, using realistic scenarios involving multiple voice protocols, complex calling sequences, and triple-play mixes of voice, video and data traffic.
IxLoad’s subscriber modeling emulates user communities that vary in service usage and timing. The company believes this approach yields performance results that accurately predict live-network capacity – allowing service providers to correctly provision their networks.
Ixia supports all of the essential VoIP signalling and transmission protocols, including SIP, RTP, SCCP, MGCP, H.323, and H.248 – with complex call flows and Class 5 features.

I have been waiting for something like this. Although I am still not convinced on how accurate it would be. It is very hard to get a clear picture because a network is always changing. High and low bandwidth usage time, what kind of traffic is flowing and how many packets per second are you pushing.
