I've used Ixia for similar purposes (nothing related to voip stuff
though), but as others already said equipment cost is a factor here.
If the budget is short or if you're willing to go with an open source
suite for testing, you might want to have a look at Pktgen-DPDK too:
https://github.com/pktgen/Pktgen-DPDK
There are tons of tutorials out there explaining how to use Linux +
pktgen-dpdk to generate traffic. I hope it helps.

Cheers!

Hi all,

I just wanted to know how you do your network testing when validating a
new design/technology in your Network, especially to ensure that it will
meet your SLA requirements for example that a voice call will not be
dropped in case of a network element failure ?

Do you test with IXIA, multiping, launch somes VM using ping with -i
option, Windows ping by setting the timeout interval, or may be directly
from the Network device (routers...),

Many thanks,
Joe
