Performance Testing with Sipp

With this test enviroment we can simulate a single or multple users calling trought mor/asterisk.

In the scenario uac_auth.xml, sipp start sending a SIP INVITE to MOR and if AUTH is requested, sipp resend SIP INVITE with PROXY AUTHENTICATION, Playing with sipp parameters you can increase call data rate and other variable like call duration, etc.

Download and compile the last sipp:

wget  http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sipp/sipp.3.1.src.tar.gz
tar xvfz sipp.3.1.src.tar.gz
cd sipp.svn
apt-get install libssl-dev / yum install openssl-devel
make ossl

edit a new file "users.csv":

SEQUENTIAL

user001;[authentication username=user001 password=password001]

user002;[authentication username=user001 password=password001]

user003;[authentication username=user001 password=password001]

edit a new file "uac_auth.xml":

Then run this:

./sipp -inf users.csv -sf uac_auth.xml -s <extension_to_call> <mor_sip_server_sip>
