Hi Pete,

we used different approaches.

Just to test the maximum channels a gateway can process the two Methods 
are enough, you can either listen to the Recordings or look at the waveform.
The easiest approach is to call a colleague and gradually increase the 
calls on the machine.

For systematic, continuous analysis Voipmonitor is a very useful tool.
We directed the traffic to a mirroring port on the Switch to which we 
connected a Server running Voipmon. (http://www.voipmonitor.org/)
Voipmon records the call and rates its quality. You can check the 
results either using the commercial Web Interface (test for free) or 
query the mysql DB.
Unfortunately Voipmon tends to crash on a regular basis (at least when 
we used it), but it's an awesome tool.
The underlying tool pcapsipdump is running a lot more stable, but you 
need to put a lot more work into it to get started.

hope i could help

Markus
