Argus newbie

[Pallis, Georgios]

Hello! Finished with setting up my Asterisk servers, so now it's time to move to Argus and performance measurements. You can see my topology in the attached image. VoIP calls (SIP & IAX2) are generated from Asterisk1 to Asterisk2 (upon connection a pre-recorded message is played in both directions). So what I want to do is measure bandwidth, end-to-end delay, jitter and packet loss in the packet flow between the two servers . I 've read the man pages of argus, ra and ragraph as well as the wiki and the documentation provided in the tar files, but I 'm still a bit confused. Mainly I 'm confused with ragraph and the way it generates graphics regarding the metrics I 'm interested in (I 've played a bit with a sample capture, but I did not succeed much). Apparently, I have to run argus with -R option, right? Also, is it the same if I capture data with something like wireshark and then process the pcap file with argus? Thank you for you time.

Kind regards,
George Pallis
