Amazon's vendor responsible for this got a ticket from Amazon this morning (and I sent them a generic contact us form message on Monday). They emailed me a few minutes ago and said they white listed the one /32 I had complaints for. I detailed our subnet, but I suspect since we only had the one

Ah no, Humberto, I wasn't offended ! You're perfectly entitled to choices (as if you needed my saying so :) ) and I just wanted to learn more about what criteria drive your preferences. Thank you for replying. Cheers, Etienne On Thu, Aug 26, 2021 at 8:23 PM Humberto Galiza wrote: > Sorry if

Sorry if you thought so Etienne, but I didn't mean to 'suggest' it as a second-class/second option solution (please note I only mentioned cost and open source as the factors; I'm sure there are much more to evaluate!). I just put the options on the table willing to help him to see what's available

I've used Ixia for similar purposes (nothing related to voip stuff though), but as others already said equipment cost is a factor here. If the budget is short or if you're willing to go with an open source suite for testing, you might want to have a look at Pktgen-DPDK too:

I should add that we did use lab simulation tools to design the network’s AP placement, using Ekahau’s WiFi scanning and design platform, which costs roughly $5k/year to license. This approach is pretty standard practice in WiFi design: you upload building drawings into the design tool,

I’ve used Ixia on high-confidence projects where we had to prove capacity of an as-built network. Such testing isn’t cheap, but it’s sometimes the only way to get the job done. Although you can buy Ixia gear and use it in a lab environment, that kind of testing has limited application, because

Hi all, I just wanted to know how you do your network testing when validating a new design/technology in your Network, especially to ensure that it will meet your SLA requirements for example that a voice call will not be dropped in case of a network element failure ? Do you test with IXIA,
