PacketScan™ provides the following enhancements:

  • Quality of Service (QOS) using E-Model: PacketScan™ now reports R-factor and MOS, along with delay, jitter, and gap for every RTP stream that is captured. Listening and Conversational Quality (MOS-LQ & MOS-CQ) scores are also reported. Error alerts are automated using built-in user-defined score thresholds. These enhancements, combined with all other existing features, continue to make PacketScan™ the leading product for voiceband analysis of VoIP networks.
  • Dynamic Payload Mapping: This feature enables users to assign codec types to RTP streams having dynamic payloads. This is useful while analyzing RTP streams that may be established using proprietary signaling protocols.
  • H.323 Call Analysis: PPacketScan™can now analyze H.323 calls. All features and statistics that have been supported with SIP are now available for H.323.

PacketScan™, PacketGen™, and RTP Toolbox™ are GL's flagship products for comprehensive test and measurement of VoIP networks, components, and equipment.
