[asterisk-users] Load testing/burn-in for Sangoma quad PRI card

2007-08-28 Thread Erik Anderson
Hello all - I'm about to deploy an asterisk server here at work. Before deploying, I'd like to do an extended load test on the system. I currently have T1 crossover cables connecting ports 1-2 and 3-4. Would there be an easy way to script generating a bunch of calls across these spans? I

Having calls connected for that duration is worthless testing... What you need to do is call setup and tear down many times per second... I recommend trying to accomplish 20-30cps at 1ms to 10ms variable durations. That will expose any bugs quickly. And that my friend is how you expose any

I use the VICIDIAL performance testing setup to do this, it's a bit of work to get running just for a test, but it's very good at simulating lots of small calls over PRIs and it makes very pretty graphs of system load. MATT--- On 8/28/07, Erik Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 8/28/07, Steve
