Apply packet-level analysis to get the most out of your most mission-critical new application: voice over IP (VoIP)

As more and more companies plan their voice over IP (VoIP) roll out from traditional telephony, quality of service (QoS) is of paramount importance in deploying and managing this mission-critical communications technology. VoIP QoS is affected by a number of network design and operations factors, including packet loss and delays, available bandwidth, WAN protocols and the presence of echo.

Sniffer® VoIP Intelligence is an optional business solution that delivers expert network analysis, VoIP troubleshooting, and monitoring capabilities to this increasingly important element of the enterprise communications infrastructure. Sniffer VoIP Intelligence leverages and extends the underlying functionality of the Sniffer platform solutions, InfiniStream and Sniffer Distributed, or Sniffer Portable, to ensure QoS on packet voice networks, enhancing the quality of converged networks at every level and optimizing the management of voice, video and data over a single network. With real-time expert analysis and decoding capabilities, you can determine if converged networks are delivering the toll-quality voice services their users demand.

Features
Identify network problems quickly: Provides Expert analysis for a wide range of VoIP protocols, and targets common problem areas such as jitter and packet loss, out-of-sequence packets, call duration, and command response times.
Expert problem analysis: Is enhanced with new network objects at the Expert application and session layers for VoIP connections by using H.323 (including H.225, H.245, RTP, RTCP, and RAS), SIP, and Cisco's Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP). Processing this information in its database of network objects, the Expert analyzer detects and alerts you to potential network problems.
