[Asterisk-Users] Load Testing

[Anton Krall]

Hi Michael.

Are there any script already made for doing this? Sending calls from one
asterisk to the one been tested? Something that would simulate your 1 phone
scenario?

|Anton,
|
|A great tool for "ghetto" call capacity testing is a single snom phone.
|There is no limit to how many calls a snom phone can make, 
|just put it on hold and dial again. So, with a single snom 
|phone and a little imagination you can test any number of 
|scenarios.  You can approximate basic SIP capacity by creating 
|an extension that plays the asterisk test message and dialing 
|it repeatedly until quality starts to degrade or asterisk gives up.
|To simulate actual call throughput you really need another 
|(faster) machine to connect to, but you can use the same technique. 
|
|You can run "top" on the console while you are doing your 
|tests to see what resources you are using.  Check your logs 
|when you are done to see what errors were generated when it 
|came unglued.  CPU is not always the limiting resource, 
|especially with Digium card interfaces which tend to be bound 
|by FSB speed, but echo cancellation and codec conversion will 
|burn a LOT of cycles.
