Astricon 2006: Serious Asterisk Testing

Note:  Thank You Jeremy 
 
I have been given access to a Spirent Abacus for the duration of Astricon. I intend to put this box to good usage for the benefit of Asterisk. Along with the Abacus, I intend to bring a couple/few mini-itx and embedded platforms, so we can easily load Asterisk down and still acquire debug information others will need to solve any problems.
 
I am attempting to acquire a couple higher end machines (dual xeon or perhaps a dual, dual-core system), for some serious high-load testing, but I may not be able to acquire the appropriate hardware in time. If anyone already has any higher-end machine(s) they can let us abuse for Astricon, let me know and I will ensure proper credit is given.

 

We need to determine a set of tests to run. It is my intention to simulate a typical enterprise/provider environment by having discreet components of the test operation - sip proxy (ser), sbc, gateway, soft-switch.

We will send various different types of common and uncommon traffic patterns to the test system, so we can measure and report on the performance of Asterisk on each component. I would also like to put Asterisk's SS7 implementation to some serious testing, but very honestly I have limited SS7 skills at this time. The Abacus also supports H.323 and SCCP, so we should also dedicate some time to these protocols as well.

Lets discuss,

Jeremy McNamara
