MyVoIPSpeed Server simulates VoIP communications between two points and

analyses data transfer rates based on round trip latency, maximum pause between

requests, packets loss and jitter in the network. The installation is simple and

all most all the settings are pre-defined. There is nothing much you need to do

for basic sever setup. Download the application (we used the NOC Edition) from

the URL given above and install it.

On the main application page, click on the Server Options link at the bottom

to change server preferences. In the first section of the page, change the IP

address from any/all to the address of desired IIS web server. This

configuration is required to continue testing - the process uploads an applet

to this server and uses that to perform the network analysis. Click on the

Throttling tab in Server options and check the option to 'Throttling test usage

by enforcing delay between test start times' option under Global Throttling

section. This will put a delay on tests running to avoid load on VoIP server.

Restrict the user to a number of tests per day to avoid unnecessary usage of

the application. After configuration, check the 'click here to view your

server' link. The page will show multiple options for reporting with an option

for administration and testing. Click on the 'Perform new test' option.

Select a test type from Professional, Standard and other options on the screen

and click on 'Start' to begin testing. A report is displayed at the end of

tests as the connection summary. Among the factors described in the report, you

can check download and upload speeds, measurement of quality of service, jitter

and packet loss.

At the end of the connection benchmark, MyVoIPSpeed displays upload and download speeds with a comaprison against standard bandwidth options

In the end, a collaborative score is presented based on above criteria that

tells you how well set up your network is for VoIP.
