Voice Quality Monitoring
The SoundPoint IP phones can be configured to generate various quality
metrics for listening and conversational quality. These metrics can be sent
between the phones in RTCP XR packets. The metrics can also be downloaded
in SIP messages to a central voice quality report collector. The collection of
these metrics is supported on the SoundPoint IP 330/320, 430, 501, 550, 560,
600, 601, 650, and 670 phones and the SoundStation IP 4000 phone.
The RTCP XR packets are complaint with RFC 3611 - RTP Control Extended
Reports (RTCP XR). The packets are sent to a report collector as specified in
draft RFC draft-ietf_sipping_rtcp-summary-02.
Three types of quality reports can be enabled:
• Alert—Generated when the call quality degrades below a configurable
threshold.
• Periodic—Generated during a call at a configurable period.
• Session—Generated at the end of a call.
