Outline

• Introduction
• Basic scenarios
• Custom XML
• Advance scenarios
• Reference

Introduction

• SIP performance tester
• a free open source test tool
• a traffic generator
• It includes several basic user agent scenarios
• UAC
• UAS
• UAC_PCAP, 3PCC etc.
• It can read custom XML scenario files

4
Introduction (cont.)

• It features the dynamic display of statistics
  about running tests
• call rate
• round trip delay
• message statistics
• It can also send media (RTP) traffic

5
UAS vs UAC

• UAS sipp -sn uas
• UAC sipp -sn uac 127.0.0.1 -mp 6100

6
UAS vs UAC (cont.)

• UAS sipp -sf uas.xml
• sipp -sd uas gt uas.xml
• http//ms11.voip.edu.tw/sepp/sipp/uas.xml
• UAC sipp 127.0.0.1 -sf uac.xml -mp 6100
• sipp -sd uac gt uac.xml
• http//ms11.voip.edu.tw/sepp/sipp/uac.xml

-sn name use a default scenario -mp media_port
set the local RTP port (defaulf6000) -sf
filename load a custom scenario -sd name dump
a default scenario
7
Options

• Usage
• sipp remote_hostremote_port options
• Regular options
• -sn name use a default scenario
• -mp media_port set the local RTP port
  (defaulf6000)
• -sf filename load a custom scenario
• -sd name dump a default scenario
• -inf filename inject values from an external
  CSV file

8
Options (cont.)

• Advance options
• -d duration control call length when pause
  occur (default0ms)
• -r rate set the call rate a.k.a. CPS
  (default10)
• -rp period specify the rate period
  (default1000ms)
• -m calls set the total number of calls
• -nr disable retransmission in UDP mode
• -l calls_limit set the maximum number of calls
• -rsa hostport set the relay address
• -i local_ip set local ip

9
REGISTER

• sipp -sf register.xml sip_proxy \-inf
  user_list.csv
• http//ms11.voip.edu.tw/sepp/sipp/register.xml
• http//ms11.voip.edu.tw/sepp/sipp/user_list.csv.t
  xt

-inf filename inject values from an external
CSV file
10
Defacto scenario

• UAS sipp -sn uas -rsa relay_host5060 -i uas_ip
• UAC sipp -sn uac -rsa relay_host5060 \uas_ip
  -i uac_ip -l 1 -nr -r 1

11
Send RTP

• UAS sipp -sn uas -rsa relay_host5060 -i uas_ip
• UAC sipp -sn uac_pcap -rsa relay_host5060
  uas_ip \-i uac_ip -l 3
• http//ms11.voip.edu.tw/sepp/sipp/uac_pcap.xml
