A quick to implement open source network monitoring tool is smokeping: http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/index.en.html
Tobi Oetiker and Niko Tyni's awesome tool can monitor latency on a number of layers, and maintains charted records of connection quality. It has a probe specific to SIP: http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/probe/SipSak.en.html While there are many great implementation guides out there, I've drafted a basic install (that is somewhat OS X centric) at: http://www.stevenstromer.com/grok/smokeping-installation-for-os-x-10-5-10-6 And a basic configuration guide: http://www.stevenstromer.com/grok/smokeping-configuration-for-a-home-or-small-business-network (it doesn't describe implementing the SIP probe just yet) Hope you find smokeping as helpful as I have, and not only for VoIP services. I am sure there are a number of other, more dedicated and equally useful apps. Also, I believe there have been numerous previous discussions in this thread about monitoring options. Look back.
