Sorry to reply to my own post, but I forgot to mention that while Nagios will only give you general stats right now, there is a Digium developer who is working on an Asterisk plugin in his spare time that will test SIP invites and IAX2 call setups, as well as a bunch of other "nice to have" stats on a production Asterisk box.

It's an OSS application that monitors hosts that you setup in many different ways (ping times/packet loss, DNS timing, ability to open HTTP sockets, ability to connect to FTP, etc). Nagios can generate trend graphs that let you show what dates and times each test for a given host returned "OK", "Warning" or "Critical". If you set it up at each site, you'd be able to monitor the opposite site and get some of the data you're looking for.

What I want is to simulate a phone call at 64K between two links for a 24 or 48 hour period, and then be able to plot the data on a graph. I am getting complaints of intermittent static on calls, and while we have a DS1 to each site, I don't expect it is dedicated bandwidth the whole way. I want to be able to report on a whole day's worth of traffic and be able to say something like "at 10:33, for 15 seconds, we had 50% packet loss", or some such. Any ideas?
