I am looking for a way to generate some artificial load through our SBCs to simulate a daytime "busy hour" during late-night maintenance windows. I'm hoping to get audio quality measurements on both media legs, per test call, so I can validate that whatever changes were made during late hours will not manifest into issues for actual customer call traffic during peak times.


I've heard of expensive hardware that can potentially do this (call hammer?), but I'm not aware of any "cloud-based" solutions. Does anyone know of a good "load testing as a service" out there that works well?


What tools would you all recommend for this?

I am looking for a way to generate some artificial load through our SBCs to simulate a daytime "busy hour" during late-night maintenance windows.  I'm hoping to get audio quality measurements on both media legs, per test call, so I can validate that whatever changes were made during late hours will not manifest into issues for actual customer call traffic during peak times.

Take a look at the PacketSmart platform from BSFT:

They have service demarks for voice that can generate calls both at the network ingress or egress.
