If you want to automate monitoring and validation of end-to-end call
functionality, you may want to look at SIPp
(http://sipp.sourceforge.net/), which can orchestrate calls between
peers via your infrastructure.
There's a hefty amount of stuff to learn, but you can get it to run
non-interactively, and produce CSV files containing various timers and
other useful information. You'll have to do a fair amount of
experimentation and parsing of the results files to get at the
information you're looking for.
