IP Xtreme is the world’s smallest, high-capacity network load generation product designed to test and qualify the voice and packet network. IP Xtreme represents a significant technological advancement in high-capacity call generation. Designed to meet the requirements of today’s developer of both legacy and new generation switches including hardware and software modules. Operators focusing on system integration or revenue and quality assurance will also enjoy the functionality, ergonomics and costs of this solution. The IP Xtreme Call Generator can be configured to generate traffic loads exceeding 60,000 endpoints and integrates with the other Fortissimo family products.

Capabilities

• Capacity - Up to 60,000 SIP endpoints can be configured
• Up to 1,000 Call Originates per Second per Call Block (20 Call Blocks per unit)
• Packet Statistics including Bandwidth, Octets and Packet counts
• QoS Results including Drop, Delay, R Factor, GMOS
• Path check confirmation
• Call and Registration detailed Statistics

Tests Performed

The IP Xtreme allows the developer to simulate various types of SIP network traffic on up to 60,000 endpoints without having to consume a large amount of rack space. Maintaining full testing flexibility on a large line count is the premise behind IP Xtreme. Each unit is controlled via a PC workstation over a 10/100 MB Ethernet port and utilizes a Conductor graphical user interface (GUI) that is intuitive and easy to use.Alternately, a command set option allows the user to remotely control units via a Tcl or Telnet session for test automation applications. Full scripting of call scenarios is accommodated and manipulation of signaling protocols is provided to allow the user to fully test and debug equipment under test before releasing product to the next stage of development.

Long known for providing the most comprehensive set of measurements in the call generation industry, Ameritec has incorporated into every IP Xtreme product the ability to simultaneously measure traditional call statistics such as calls originated and completed as well as a comprehensive set of QoS measurements designed to provide packet quality and voice quality scoring. The ability to utilize our GoldenVoice technology to measure packet loss, jitter, signal to noise ratio, clipping and delay while simultaneously providing R-factor, GMOS, G-PSQM, G-PESQ, and G-PESQ-LQ scoring on all lines makes this product an invaluable development tool.

IP Xtreme provides the user with the ability to graph any metric over the duration of the test. The user may choose to graph the metric over all endpoints or Callblocks. If an anomaly is seen in the report data or in the graph, the user may change the scale to zoom in and pinpoint its time of occurrence. Any two measurements may be presented on the same graph to allow correlation of results. Multiple graphs may be viewed simultaneously, providing further comparison and analysis capabilities. IP Xtreme graphs may be used to assess system performance in real-time or as a tool for post-analysis of the data.

Summary

With the IP Xtreme the user gets both high capacity call generation and high performance. Utilizing independent resources, each unit can generate as many calls as your equipment can support. The IP Xtreme can configure nearly every parameter associated with the generation or answering of a call and therefore it is possible to test for load related issues as well as fundamental integrity issues.
