VQmon/SA
Powerful Real-Time Call Quality Analysis for VoIP Probes, Analyzers, and Routers

Specifically designed for integration in network analyzers, probes, firewall routers, ONUs, and VoIP test equipment, VQmon/SA efficiently analyzes multiple parallel packet voice streams and provides estimated call quality scores (MOS and R-factor) and detailed diagnostics for each RTP stream, at the end of each call or at any point during a call. VQmon/SA is the most widely used and deployed Voice over IP analysis technology, forming the core of most of the industry's VoIP probes and analyzers.

VQmon/SA examines each voice packet, accurately predicts which packets would be lost or discarded using a jitter buffer emulator, measures the distribution of lost and discarded packets, and produces call quality scores and diagnostic data. In addition to the rich set of diagnostic data produced by VQmon/EP, VQmon/SA produces a range of additional packet- and jitter-buffer-related statistics. VQmon/SA supports full RTCP XR VoIP metrics payload decoding and is able to determine round-trip delay from either RTCP or RTCP XR.

VQmon generates listening and conversational quality MOS scores and R factors and a wide range of diagnostic data, making these available through an API as raw metrics, RTCP XR and SIP QoS Report payloads. VQmon is an advanced VoIP perceptual quality estimation algorithm that incorporates support for key international standards including ITU-T P.564, ITU-T G.107, ITU-T G.1020, ETSI TS 101 329-5 Annex E and IETF RFC 3611. VQmon incorporates support for time varying IP impairments (typically caused by network congestion) and has been independently shown to provide significantly more accurate and stable metrics than other algorithms such as G.107 (E Model).

 
  • Listening and Conversational Quality MOS scores (MOS-LQ, MOS-CQ)
  • Listening and Conversational Quality R factors ( R-LQ, R-CQ)
  • Burst and Gap Call Quality Scores ( R-Gap, R-Burst)
  • Narrowband and Wideband R and MOS Scores
  • Degradation factors - % degradation due to loss, discard, delay, codec, etc.
  • Burst and Gap Loss/Discard Statistics
  • Lost, Discarded, Out-of-sequence, Duplicate packet statistics
  • PPDV (RFC3550), MAPDV (G.1020) and Y.1540 Jitter Metrics
