Here's one way - set up calls to the sip provider using "local" channels instead of actual phones.
In extensions.conf [monkeys] Exten => s,1,playback(tt-monkeys) Exten => s,n,hangup Create Call file (monkey1.call) Channel: sip/5551212 CallerID: Local/8 MaxRetries: 1 WaitTime: 60 retryTime: 5 extension: local/8 Context: monkeys Cp monkey1.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing Copy monkey1.call to monkeyx.call for each line you want to test I use this methodology to test my asterisk for 25 simultaneous calls. If you change local/8 to sip/123 where 123 is one of your physical extensions, this places a real call. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eddie Mikell Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 9:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [asterisk-users] Stress Test new system All: Getting ready to put the system in production. Any suggestions on "stress testing" the system? I'd like to initiate say 10 sip phone calls to make sure the provider has the bandwidth. Can you do that in CLI? I've called 4 numbers simultaneously with the hard phones I currently have and am thinking of adding 6 or so soft-phones to various pc's to make a total of ten outgoing calls at the same time. Any thing else that can be tested before we go live (total of 60 users)?
