From the little experience I have I do not think that that is a good way of testing the quality of voice. SIP only initiates and eventually terminates the call, once that the call is connected, SIP and therefore Asterisk are no longer involved. Once the call is connected it is assigned to a trapsport layer protocol such as RTP. RTP is the actual protocol that delivers the voice call between endpoints. I believe that the setup of your network, QoS, codecs etc... determine the voice quality of your system.

I have a question here.

How can we test the quality of voice upon increasing the call load?

Can we try passing a voice file using sipp and record the same in dial plan record application ? Is this reliable enough to simulate near real world scenario?


Once upon a time, we set out to create exactly this for testing asterisk. Our goal would have been to run the test every week, comparing the results from the previous week, to make sure asterisk's performance was not getting worse as new commits happened.

We came up with the idea of loading testing asterisk using SIPp or some other dialer, then determining at what point asterisk would start failing (performance). We decided the point of failure was quality of audio, since it is usually the first thing to go (even though call control still works).

It took a while, but with the help of Leif, we found a tool to analyse audio streams (using MOS score[1]). Basically, you take the original audio file, play it across the network, then record the other side. Then, comparing the two files via Aqua, you get your MOS score.

If the score was less then x, you knew asterisk was hitting a performance limit. Track that over time and concurrent calls, you have your metrics.

Hi!
I haven't used it, but there is a quality test algorithm provided by ITU.
