well, the point is that every application is different and nobody can say
what the performance for this or that HW exactly is. This is not like
holding a hostage it is more like "we need to play on your existing platform
run some tests so we can come out with some real benchmark"... this is what
i can read from Anthony's e-mail.

yes, SIPP together with nmon and wireshark and Adobe Audition are the right
tools (at least thats what i'm using...) for such benchmarking.


   - SIPP to generate traffic load,
   - nmon to get some real stats on the machine
   - wireshark to quickly check the jitter on your test call and extract the
   voice stream (sniffing has to be done on a mirrored switch port)
   - adobe autition to perform voice quality check on the extracted voice
   stream

dont think so, "you must learn how to use all these tools"... if you don't
want to do it, there is another option but it is not free :(

well ... i think the time is always the issue + nobody likes documenting
things :(

I cannot say anything here except you are right and i agree what you are
saying about documenting things ...
