CallGen - call generator with SEMS
intro
-----
CallGen is a call generator. Its intention is to have a load generator
for (web)conference application. On the beginning of a call, it can
play some random DTMF digits. After that, it loops a file (set in config).
The time it waits between calls, and the call duration may be specified,
both with two parameters: base and rand, in seconds (total = base + rand).
r-uri user and host can be specified, and random digits may be appended
to ruri user.
usage
-----
run the on-line help function for up2date help:
>>> print s.help()[0]
callgen - simple call generator
method: createCalls - create calls (online - takes its time to return)
method: scheduleCalls - schedule calls
method: setTarget - set call count target
parameters for these functions are always:
int ncalls - number of calls to [make, schedule, set target]
int wait_time_base - wait time btw calls, base value
int wait_time_rand - wait time btw calls, random add (total = base + rand)
string ruri_user - user part of ruri
string ruri_host - host part of ruri
int ruri_rand_digits - no of random digits to add to ruri user
int play_rand_digits - no of random digits to play at the beginning
int call_time_base - call timer, base value
int call_time_rand - call timer, random add (total = base + rand)
[int ncalls_per_sec - n calls to schedule per sec, only setTarget ]
method: callGenStats - return some statistics
why not sipp for load gen?
-------------------------
sipp, which is obviously the sip stress test tool to use, is of course much
better.
there are some issues with sipp though: DTMF output with sipp pcapplay can
not be combined with rtp echo, and with rtp echo mode its not possible
to test dial-in conference bridge with pin (room) entry via dtmf.
rtp echo for media overload stress testing has the problem that an
overloaded conference bridge will maybe not send packets due to
overloading, thus on echo the overload is down-regulating itself.
sems as load generator always sends packets.
for analysis of the received audio, its also nice to have the call already
in sems.
