Hi,<br>
<br>
I think this is unfair to automatically point a user to commercial<br>
support. Its like holding your users hostage until they pay for info.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>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.<br>

I'm willing to write a page on the wiki with info on the recommended<br>
tools to use etc. with links to the commercial support resource list<br>
if they can't be bothered to do the setup themselves or want the<br>
experts paid for guidance.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br><br>
yes, SIPP together with nmon and wireshark and Adobe Audition are the
right tools (at least thats what i'm using...) for such benchmarking. <br>
<br>
<ul><li>SIPP to generate traffic load, <br>
</li><li>nmon to get some real stats on the machine</li><li>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)<br></li><li>adobe autition to perform voice quality check on the extracted voice stream<br>
</li></ul>

It just reads like a bit of an insult. Have a question? Well you must<br>
be stupid and need to pay for help immediately.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>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 :(<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
He may have even written the page for the docs team if he was<br>
encouraged first with a few pointers on how to do the tests and<br>
written them up with results for others to find with a big YMMV<br>
warning.<br></blockquote><div><br>well ... i think the time is always the issue + nobody likes documenting things :(<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Just my thoughts from experiences as the Doc team lead for the<br>
OpenLDAP project and dealing with lots of users asking questions too.<br>
<br>
But some users never read docs and there a very good amount of high<br>
quality pages in the wiki. Others, if helped, come back and<br>
contribute, but you may have lost this one.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I cannot say anything here except you are right and i agree what you are saying about documenting things ...<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
