AppView Voice - Measuring VoIP QOS

Assessing & Measuring VoIP QOS

Gartner warn us that 85 percent of networks are not ready for VoIP and that assessing your networks using VoIP QoS  is the only way to gain a good understanding of the project. Your goal is making sure that everytime someone picks up their VoIP phone to make a call they receive a good quality of service and their moment isn't spoilt by poor quality or dropped calls. That's impossible to predict unless you perform an initial assessment and ongoing monitoring of the service.

Without updating your Cisco hardware to IPSLA complient or buying any expensive hardware or phones or specialist VoIP testing tools, AppView voice can assess and continuously monitor your production network allowing you to make informed decisions on the performance of these services - again without deploying a single piece of voice equipment. AppView continuously measures all the typical performance indicators like VoIP QoS.  MOS, packet loss and latency, allowing you to make informed decisions baseGet consistant Voice Quality of Service by:

• Pre-assessing networks with live VoIP QoS traffic without investing in any VoIP hardware
• Stress-testing over days or weeks to identify issues caused by periodic or infrequent activities
• Generating traffic matching the exact port, protocol and behaviour of major VoIP codecs
• Detecting VoIP Jitter, latency and packet loss

Highly Accurate Video Conference Testing

AppView Video provides a highly accurate capability for measuring key performance indicators that impact a video conferencing sessions. AppView Video creates separate streams for the key components of the video session including Signaling, Audio and Video, each with independently customized codecs, bandwidth allocation and QoS settings.

 Advanced Deployment Architectures

Video conferences come in all shapes and sizes, from a simple location-tolocation session, to central bridge conferences with multiple remote offices, to full mesh environments and everything in between. PathView Cloud with AppView Video supports all of these configurations, and it conducts testingon all sessions concurrently to accurately mirror the distributed nature of theconference. Each session can be uniquely configured to account  for differences in conferencing hardware and bandwidth allocated at a given location. The detailed video conference performance results are presented as one complete set to easily identify problem areas
