Monitoring VOIP QoS

[chrischevy]

Does anyone use a software to monitor RTP ? I'd like to monitor the QoS applied on RTP and also mesure jitter, latency, etc...

Thank you

I don't have software that will monitor in real time, but it is possible to do a speedtest to check the characteristics with VoIP. This is one that I have used: http://www.telappliant.com/speedtest The results are fairly comprehensive and I have found that they are a reasonable guide that can be trusted.

Also, wireshark can be helpful in looking at jitter but does not give a complete analysis.

Kind regards

Wireshark is the industry standard professional tool.

This is a new service that does hosted VOIP monitoring. Might be worth looking into (haven't use them myself):

Thank you for the replies.

I know Wireshark, but I'd like to find a similar software that is more VOIP oriented.

I might try CACE pilot (wireshark add-on) http://www.cacetech.com/products/cace_pilot.html
It seems to include some VOIP tools.

I have played with VQManger in the past. There is a free version as well.
