Clarinet Analog measurement: monitoring functions

The Clarinet Run-time package includes a tool allowing to measure the Quality of the voice carried over Trunk bearers or over IP networks.

Functions of the program

The Clarinet QoS is a Clarinet function designed for the company’s Clarinet platform. Clarinet Run-time package includes new capabilities to process the voice flow:

  • in monitoring mode to translate the voice flow resulting from clarinet  acquisition into wav files 
  • in simulation mode to generate  wav file and provide QoS ratios.

Monitoring  functions over Voice-channels of Trunk bearers

"Analog measurement", defines a new type of events coming from Byte-TS flow over TS of ISDN Bchannels, SS7 links, E1/T1 Trunks, Clarinet processing translates the events into wav files. 

 

"Analog measurement", a new type of data can be selected from the protocol stack of the filter to decode the Voice Quality of Service events.

 

The Clarinet acquisition specified in the profile as Byte-TS generates Byte-TS events resulting from monitoring of the samples in the Voice channels over E1, T1 or BRI interfaces. 

 

When the "Analog measurement" is specified above Byte-TS, an additional TAB appears in the filter in order to specify the voice parameters and the type of measurement.

The "Received Voiced" specifies the parameters and the output file for the monitoring:
  • Encoding specifications of the samples in Byte-TS(G711 m-Law, A-Law...)
  • Jitter buffer size 
  • Name of the wav files: two wav files are automatically generated (T and R directions) 
  • Encoding specifications of the wav files

The "Quality Measurement" specifies the type and the options of the measurement:

 

The Clarinet processing of Byte-TS events generates wav files (name specified in the filter panel) and QoS events resulting from Byte-TS events. 

 

Monitoring  functions over VOIP channels

 

"Analog measurement", a new type of data can be selected from the protocol stack of the filter to decode the Voice Quality of Service events.

 

When the "Analog measurement" is specified above Byte-TS, an additional TAB appears in the filter in order to specify the voice parameters and the type of measurement.

The "Received Voiced" specifies the parameters and the output file for the monitoring:
  • Encoding specifications of the samples in RTP flow
  • Jitter buffer size 
  • Name of the wav files: two wav files are automatically generated (T and R directions) 
  • Encoding specifications of the wav files

The "Quality Measurement" specifies the type and the options of the measurement:

  • PSQM or PESQ
  • The wav file used as a reference  
The  following Codecs are supported:
  • ITU G711  m-Law 8 kHz, 8 bits
  • ITU G711  A-Law 8 kHz, 8 bits
  • ITU G711  Linear 8 kHz, 16  bits
  • ITU G726-40 ADPCM 8 kHz, 5  bits
  • ITU G726-32 ADPCM 8 kHz, 4  bits
  • ITU G726-24 ADPCM 8 kHz, 3  bits
  • ITU G726-16 ADPCM 8 kHz, 2  bits

 

The Clarinet acquisition uses the stack of protocol specified in the filter to generate RTP events resulting from monitoring of IP / UDP packets  over LAN or WAN interfaces. 

 

The Clarinet processing of RTP events generates wav files (name specified in the filter panel) and QoS events resulting from Byte-TS events. 

 

Average results  are generated at a time defined by the value of "Delay between meas." in the filter. 

The Clarinet "analog measurement" events refer to the IP flow identification by  including the IP addresses and the UDP port addresses in the header.
