RTP
The RTP (Real Time Protocol) network test is a peer-to-peer test that
measures the VoIP related parameters by streaming RTP packets between
two endpoints.
The RTP network test simulates VoIP traffic by streaming RTP packets
between a Controller test set, which initiates the packet stream, and a
Responder endpoint, which initiates its own stream to the Controller test
set.
The Controller sends an audio packet stream to the Responder. The audio
stream is based on the type of traffic parameter (and, optionally, test length
parameter). Port selection is determined by the setting of the UDP Port
Parameters.
The Responder initiates a packet stream to the Controller. The Controller
receives the packets that are sent from the Responder.
