Abstract
A VoIP measurement architecture using a flow-based measurement method, such as IPFIX/PSAMP, is presented. In particular, we focus on an ACL-based metering function adaptable to existing router/switch capabilities. We also applied a mediation function handling the ACL-based filtering configuration and correlating both SIP and RTP packet-based data records to build the VoIP measurement architecture. This architecture enables network operators to measure VoIP quality as needed in large-scale networks. Finally, we demonstrated the feasibility of the measurement system by evaluating a prototype.
