Measuring SIP Proxy Server Performance

Abstract

This book focused on studying the performance characteristics and scalability aspects of SIP proxy server, which plays a vital role in the SIP architecture based network. Since it is not realistically possible to simulate or emulate the real world SIP network and study the performance characteristics of the SIP proxy server, significant effort was devoted in exploring new creative ways of designing the lab network and hardware setup. We conducted experiments with state of the art equipment, SIP proxy server software and other tools at the high tech CISCO “LASER” lab. We collected several data sets over the course of this research, did the comparative analysis and presented the findings in this thesis. The experimental results presented can be used as a benchmark data for the current and future SIP proxy server implementations. The performance parameters such as average response time or Call setup times, mean number of calls in the system, CPU utilization, Memory utilization, Queue size while establishing the SIP based media sessions is a very fundamental research in IP based telephony. Providing security for the SIP based network is a performance overhead for the service providers. We studied the performance impacts of processing SIP based calls are made using secured and non-secured transport protocols and presented the results.
