Hey,
Most of the time you dont need a big machine to test a small machine.
Just make sure there is no transcoding on the sending end.
I did all the tests you mentioned (Except for the jitter buffer) on a
dual xeon and a via c3.
That took me about 2 months fulltime (its a lot harder than it looks),
you can find some of the results on www.astertest.com (there you will
find also some imature version of a callgenerator for asterisk that
would probably help you to do things faster).
I could also help you off list if you want.
Zoa.

Hello,
I would like to test the capabilities of the various hardware that
I run AstLinux on:
- Soekris Net4801 (266mhz Geode)
- 1ghz P3
- 1ghz Via C3
- 2.5ghz Celeron
- 3 ghz x 2 Xeon
What I would like to do is use * on the higher end machines to
pound as many calls as possible (probably 10, 20 at a time) into * on
the lesser machines. I will then try to keep track of system
resources (CPU usage, memory usage, etc) on the "client" machines. I
want to do this with various codecs, jitterbuffer yes/no, trunk
yes/no, SIP, IAX, across all of this hardware to at least get an idea
of what I can expect from these CPU's (as far as transcoding goes).
"show translations" is just not cutting it anymore... :)
Not to self-promote, but AstLinux looks like a perfect platform to
do testing like this because of consistency and the fact that it can
run from flash and RAM, so disk I/O should not ever be a problem...
I am thinking some combination of app_milliwatt & the outgoing
call spool or manager interface would be a good way to go about this.
The wiki page has no specifics for doing this, so I thought I would
ask. How is this normally done, or is there a completely different,
better way to do it?
Thanks in advance!
