Fedora :: Set Up Linphone For Testing Voip Performance?
Feb 4, 2010
I am trying to set up linphone for testing voip performance. Essentially I am a beginner with linux. I picked Fedora based on the recommendation of a friend. I am running Fedora 12 and I need to get linphone up and running with a working registrar. I have no idea what to do so I turned to hours of research which yielded little results but I did thing to try using partysip. I would like to know if this is a wise choice and if it is what do I do to set it up?
Is there any program for GNU to calculate CPU's performace in marks (should support multi-core CPUs)? So it will be possible to compare performance of different CPUs.
I would like to test network performance, to get statistic information. Is there any tools where I could specify partikular message size send as a constant for many times and in an output I could get time for each transaction? There is a tool called ApacheBench, it is for webserver testing, but I would like to find something similar for network testing. I have also tried Netpipe, Netperf, Iperf, but they do not show information in an output, which I would like to see.
I'm going to be installing Vinux which is Linux for the Visually Impaired, based on Ubuntu, onto most any computers I can get my hands on to give to the VI community around my area. I'd like to know what would be a good method to stress test each computer to ensure that each one will operate at an adequate speed without freeze-ups. Sorry, I can't be specific about the computers. I'll be taking whatever gets donated from the public and from businesses, desktops and laptops, whatever comes my way. I don't want to send out any headaches to anyone by giving them a dog-tired slow or a freezing computer that won't even operate.
Now doing some research about performance of Linux switch. I'll start with basic structure of my system: PC1 is connected to PC2 - both have 1 NIC so not much to add.PC2 eth0 is divided in VLAN`s as far as maximum of 4094. Every VLAN has it's own switch (bridge). On PC1 when I run a test I just make VLAN/configure IP address and stream data to IP that's configured for that bridge on PC2.But now I want to add one more interface to each bridge, so I could stream from PC1 through bridge to Virtual interface (just an endpoint out of bridge). I could possibly add one more computer, physical interface to PC1 and make it work, but is there any way to make this work with virtual interfaces, like tun or something? Making just a simple tun interface and adding it to bridge, as you understand, doesn't do the trick, I need some kind of other endpoint that /virtually/ connects to tun interface. Maybe someone has made some kind of script or something? Using Iperf for my tests.
I had just installed linphone in Fedora 10 using # yum install linphone and face the following problem. I installed linphone in 2 clients via LAN and using IPv4 address, I am able to call each other. However when I changed the preference to use IPv6 in the network (the network support IPv6), I am not able to call to each other using IPv6 address.
I installed Linphone from the repositories and got it working, apart from the video, investigation showed that there is no support for video. how to fix this before I install from source (which I have never done ) so that I can have a fully working piece of software. I am using a fully updated version of Fedora 15.
So I am attempting to get linphone up and running for a research project. I am a beginner with Fedora and fairly inexperienced with computers. I was wondering if there was anyone with a vast knowledge of linphone who could help me get set up.
I had tried searching the forum for related sound help but to no avail. Thus i posted here in hope to get help.
I had been using fedora 12 since it release and been working wonderfully. Untill my last 2 update, my Voip softphone like twinkle, ekiga and linphone somehow have no sound out from speaker.
1. i can play all video and music with sound coming out from my laptop inbuilt speaker.
2. for twinkle, ekiga and linphone, there's no sound out from my laptop inbuilt speaker.That means, when i call a person, that person can hear me talking (my mic working good) but when he talk i am unable to hear him as no sound coming out from the speaker.
Note: i had call multiple different people and the result is the same.
I am on Gnome desktop with PusleAudio install and running since the releae of F12.
I just got DHCP working, but I need to add a "Pre-Defined Option" for the Cisco VoIP network here. At least that's what it's called in Windows. This "Pre-defined Option 150" is necessary on Windows dhcp servers tied to Cisco VoIP networks, but I have no idea where to start getting that set up in Fedora.
I am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?
I`m using Fedora 14 and i`ve one problem, i use x-lite phone on windows and what is x-lite alternative for linux ? i`ve found x-lite phone for linux but it dont work fine . It has problems with sound card etc. What do you recommend?
I have installed Linphone 3.2.1 for linux on my Lubuntu netbook but have any clue how to configure my voipbuster settings. Have searched the internet but did not find any guidance for this version of Linphone and the documentation on the Linphone website on this subject is very poor.
I've created a GUI for my voip software wherein i'm using the source code of linphone 3.3.2 for video and all protcol stuffs . It is like i've got my own gtk GUI instead of the linphone's glade . Hope you get the picture of what i'm doing . I would like to know how to compile the source code since because i do not know about make files and stuffs . Kindly help me solve this .
I recently want to study the source code of linphone, and I should install it on my debian lenny linux first. I can install it by apt-get install linphone without any trouble. but like i said above, and I should install in by source code.well, the configure did not goes wrong, but after I typed "make", errors come to me, I know this is the error about the lib's. but i do not know which one did I miss,any one could tell me what the libs are they when I use the source code compile ????
I just wanted to know if having my laptop set to ondemand, will this affect performance in any way? I realize it increases the clock speed to performance when the CPU is under load, but does the time it take to go from ondemand to performance affect speed? Will there be any noticeable difference between the two setups? I have a dual core intel at 2.2GHz when in performance. When ondemand is set with no load it downclocks to 800Mhz.
I downloaded linphone 3.30 using mozila and tried installing. while giving the command ./configure it was successful and next giving the command make gives me a error message make file is not found. but makefile.am and makefile.in is already available in the current working directory.
I have given the link of the pastebin for ./configure command and make command..
Being a LAMP snob, it pains me to even think these thoughts, but .I'm running FC-9, and developing websites, mainly using PHP - well the whole LAMP thing. I now find the need to test/code for IE. To that end I'm thinking VMware, VitrualBox, etc. loaded up with that "other" OS.
I'm sure others have gone down this path. I'm guessing the answer is Win-7. My main question is: OK, I do a virgin buy and install and register it on my VM. Six months later I want to change from VM-X to VM-Y and I reinstall - what is MS's feelings on VM's.
I'm noticing that the performance for FreeNX Server under Fedora Core 14 is really bad. The screen refreshing is painfully slow. I'm thinking maybe the issue is related to the use of opengl in the X driver? how I can disable opengl entirely, so that the X server is only using 2d rendering?
I am interested in doing some testing for Fedora. I want to be able to test nightly builds of fedora. I currently am running F12 and depend on it to do daily work and don't want to risk breaking it just for testing. I wanted to know how fellow fedoraforum members do testing of new fedora builds? Do they have several root partitions to install a working and testing install? Do they put in a virtual machine?
It was released a couple days ago, and the Scribus team always sends new releases to Fedora, but on my Fedora 14 x86_64 computer I can't find it in updates-testing:
Code: # yum install scribus --enablerepo=updates-testing Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit updates-testing/metalink | 15 kB 00:00 updates-testing | 4.7 kB 00:00 updates-testing/primary_db | 880 kB 00:00 Setting up Install Process Package scribus-1.3.9-1.fc14.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
I can always download the RPM and install it directly, but I prefer to use yum. Did the updates-testing people misplace it? Or did the Scribus team forget to send it to Fedora?
I am trying to automate testing of logon into a web application using "curl". as the first step i am doing below to see if i can login to the app from command linecurl --verbose --user usernameassword my.url.combut it does not seem to be working. from the output that i get it seems it only gets to the page where to enter my username/password. but does not get past that stage. below are the first few lines from the output
curl --verbose --user administrator my.url.com Enter host password for user 'administrator': * About to connect() to my.url.com port 7790
After being forced to rebuild my computer (failed drive) I finally got current and installed F11 (was using F9). I was watching GKrellm last night and noticed something odd. The CPU frequency on my processor (Phenom 9600) was scaled to the slower speed and was rarely being pushed to full speed.
I verified that cpuspeed was in ondemand mode and ran some processor intense tasks (huge image loads, large file cats, large yum installs, etc...). Only when I was able to sustain near 100% load would the system throttle to the full clock speed. It would then drop back to the slower speed very quickly even though the process was still running. As a rough benchmark, I ran these tasks again in performance mode to see what impact this was having. Most of these tasks were taking as much as 40-50% longer to complete in ondemand mode.
Digging further, I found that the default up_threshold in F11 is set to 95%!! This is verified by cating /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold. This means that the system would not throttle to full speed unless a 95% load was sustained for multiple samples (36 miliseconds each by default).
I overrode these settings in /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed. I change up_threshold to 60 and down_threshold to 30. I am at work right now, so I can't benchmark this change until tonight. I guess I could have just set it to performance mode and left it, but I'd rather save the power when the machine is idle.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why 95% is the default and if there is any problem/benefit to changing this to a much lower value? It seems that anyone with a CPU running SpeedStep or CoolnQuiet would suffer the same severe performance impacts I saw with the default values.
I av just started out with fedora (fedora 15 64bit) and everything is dandy except i get less than an hour of battery life on my laptop. I used to get around 2 and half hours on ubuntu natty. could someone help me figure out whats going on?All hardware has been working well and i havent installed any proprietary drivers except the WLAN broadcom driver.
I'm using fedora 11. I'd like to do some tests with direct IO (raw) devices. I have now raw(1) command. Yum fails to find a package providing raw. There's a /dev/rawctl and raw appears in /proc/devices. Where is it? (rpm?)
Firefox 4 Beta RPMs are available at [URL]. The RPMs do not upgrade or modify the existing Firefox installation and instead create a new profile to coexist with the stable releases.
