Ixia Upgrades VoIP Testing Platform

Ixia introduced an enhanced IxVoice 3.0 platform designed to bridge the gap between functional and performance testing of traditional PSTN and VoIP technologies. Key features of this release include extensive predefined test cases for SS7, MGCP, NCP, and include RTP support that has a five times performance increase, and significantly enhanced ability to assess packet loss, jitter, and one-way delay. IxVoice now includes full support for T.38 conformance testing and also addresses a wide range of test applications with the ability to emulate SIP, H.323, MGCP, SCCP (Cisco's Skinny protocol) signaling, and RTP media streaming. A new API has also been added to reduce test setup and execution time by providing the facilities to configure, control, and automate IxVoice application via TCL/Expect scripts. http://www.ixiacom.com/products/voice_testing/
