Not necessarily, but if that is delivered that is useful. Probably more along the lines of packet statistics and such.
In a more general sense, It'd be a utility (or utilities) that could be easily installed on a system, that allow for some simple diagnostics on network health and other metrics relevant to VoIP. For example, I have a set that is giving trouble right now, and I suspect a network trouble, but this is a remote site and I would love to be able to do some investigation that goes beyond sending a bunch of pings and looking at the latency and loss. In more general terms, though, I'd like to have a list of what people are using to analyze VoIP and troubleshoot. My feeling is that the sharing of this knowledge would benefit all of us, so I figured I'd ask in more general terms, in order to get a broader feel for how people handle this. The advantage is that responses become searchable, so they will be useful for some time into the future. I am pleased to know that wireshark seems to offer some of what I am looking for. I am going to look into that more closely. Ideally, I'd want to come up with some recipies that contain useful tips on troubleshooting connectivity and quality problems with the network. How many of us run VoIP sets on our customers' networks, and are forced to prove network troubles to the customer because the tell us "the network is fine", even though there is a lot of evidence to suggest that it is not? Being able to produce more detailed data on why we feel the network is "not fine" would often be of use. Being able to do that without having to spend a lot of time on it, and having access to only the Asterisk server, would make things a lot easier, I suspect.
