ICG-3001BF In Stock

The ICG-3001BF by Spirent is a an Abacus 5000 ICG3 subsystem that conducts rigorous testing and performance analysis of RTP media and signaling within demanding scenarios. This subsystem serves as a call termination and origination platform for a single card, effectively simulating VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls. By emulating multiple IP telephones and/or gateways, the ICG-3001BF generates call signaling and delivers both signaling (supporting up to 20,000 channels for SIP) and media (supporting up to 8,000 RTP calls for SIP) traffic to the system under test.

The ICG-3001BF performs endpoint registration requests to evaluate the capacity of SIP proxy servers. The versatility of this subsystem renders it highly beneficial across various applications. It excels in validating signaling system performance through high-volume SIP signal testing. Additionally, it effectively identifies RTP performance, capacity limitations, functionality, and interoperability. This subsystem is also proficient in conducting Quality of Service (QoS) assessments for Voice Mail and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) servers. Furthermore, it enables comprehensive service assurance for end-to-end interfaces between VoIP and traditional packet-based PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) networks. The ICG-3001BF is instrumental in testing VoIP PBXs, proxy servers, softswitches, VoIP gateways, gatekeepers, media gateway controllers, and PSTN equipment while employing industry-standard metrics to evaluate voice quality.

One of the key advantages of the ICG-3001BF is its ability to emulate SIP Proxy/Registrar functions. The SIP Proxy aspect replicates the server-side functionality, operating as a stateful proxy processing engine. It establishes and maintains server transactions associated with one or more client transactions. On the other hand, the SIP Registrar accepts REGISTER requests, storing the associated information within the location service and associating contact addresses with SIP users. Acting as a routing mechanism, the SIP proxy server directs SIP requests to user agent servers, while SIP responses are routed to user agent clients. The SIP registrar server accepts REGISTER requests and populates the location service with the received information, specifically for the domain it handles.
