Enterprise Edge 2.0 IP Telephony Configuration Guide P0911590 Issue 02
Program a script to run the Ping program during intranet’s peak hours, repeatedly
sending a series of 50 Ping requests. Each Ping request generates a summary of
packet loss (with a granularity of 2%), and for each successful probe that made its
roundtrip, that many rtt samples.
For a strong network there must be at least 3000 delay samples and 60 packet loss
samples. Have the raw output of the Ping results stored in a file. Determine the
average and standard deviation of one-way delay and packet loss.
Repeat this for each site pair. At the end of the measurements, the results are as
shown in Table 7.
Table 7 Delay and error statistics
Other measurement considerations
The Ping statistics described above measure the intranet before IP telephony
installation. The measurement does not take into consideration the expected load
provide by the IP telephony users.
If the intranet capacity is tight and the IP telephony traffic important, the installer
or administrator must consider making intranet measurements under load. Apply
load using traffic generator tools; the amount of load must match the IP telephony
offered traffic estimated in the Enterprise Edge VoIP Gateway bandwidth
engineering section on page 17.
Decision: does the intranet meet IP telephony QoS needs?
The end of the measurement and analysis is a good indicator if the corporate intranet
can deliver acceptable voice and fax services. The Expected QoS level column in
Table 7 indicates to the installer or administrator the QoS level for each site pair
with the data.
To provide voice and fax services over the intranet, keep the network within a Good
or Excellent QoS level at the Mean+σ operating area. Fax services must not travel
on routes that have “Fair” or “Poor” QoS levels.
