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 :(
