Hi,
I think this is unfair to automatically point a user to commercial
support. Its like holding your users hostage until they pay for info.
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.
I'm willing to write a page on the wiki with info on the recommended
tools to use etc. with links to the commercial support resource list
if they can't be bothered to do the setup themselves or want the
experts paid for guidance.
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
It just reads like a bit of an insult. Have a question? Well you must
be stupid and need to pay for help immediately.
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 :(
He may have even written the page for the docs team if he was
encouraged first with a few pointers on how to do the tests and
written them up with results for others to find with a big YMMV
warning.
well ... i think the time is always the issue + nobody likes documenting things :(
Just my thoughts from experiences as the Doc team lead for the
OpenLDAP project and dealing with lots of users asking questions too.
But some users never read docs and there a very good amount of high
quality pages in the wiki. Others, if helped, come back and
contribute, but you may have lost this one.
I cannot say anything here except you are right and i agree what you are saying about documenting things ...
Gav.
