Successful deployment of networked multimedia applications such as IP Telephony depends on the performance of the underlying data network. QoS requirements of these applications are different from those of traditional data applications. For example, while IP Telephony is very sensitive to delay and jitter, traditional data applications are more tolerant of these performance metria. Consequently, assessinganetwork todetermine whether it can accommodate the stringent QoS requirements oflF' Telephony becomes critical. In this paper we describe a technique for evaluating a network for IF' Telephony readiness. Our technique relies on the data collection and analysis support of our prototype tool, ExametW. It automatically discovers the topology of a given network and collects and integrates network device performance and voice quality metrics. We report the results of assessing the IF' Telephony readiness of a real network of 31 network devices (routedswitches) and 23 hosts via ExamiNetm. Our evaluation identified links in the network that were over utilized to the point at which they could not handle IF' Telephony.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
