Example for Configuring an NQA UDP Jitter Test to Monitor the VoIP Service Jitter Time

This section provides an example for configuring an NQA UDP jitter test to monitor the jitter time for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.

Networking Requirements

On the network shown in Figure 1, the headquarters and a subsidiary of a company often need to use VoIP to hold teleconferences. The round-trip delay time must be less than 250 ms, and the jitter time must be less than 20 ms. The UDP jitter test can be configured to simulate VoIP services.

  • Interface 1 in this example is GE0/1/0, respectively.


Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Configure Device A as the NQA server and Device D as the NQA client, and create a UDP jitter test instance on Device D.

  2. Start the test instance.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

  • IP addresses of Device A and Device D that are connected to the IP backbone network

  • Code type for simulated VoIP services

Procedure

  1. Configure the NQA server Device A.

    <DeviceA> system-view
    [~DeviceA] nqa-server udpecho 10.1.1.1 4000
    [*DeviceA] commit

  2. Configure the NQA client Device D.
    1. Configure the packet version for the test instance.

      <DeviceD> system-view
      [~DeviceD] nqa-jitter tag-version 2

    2. Create a UDP jitter test instance and set the destination IP address to the IP address of Device A.

      [*DeviceD] nqa test-instance admin udpjitter
      [*DeviceD-nqa-admin-udpjitter] test-type jitter
      [*DeviceD-nqa-admin-udpjitter] destination-address ipv4 10.1.1.1
      [*DeviceD-nqa-admin-udpjitter] destination-port 4000

    3. Specify the code type for simulated VoIP services.

      [*DeviceD-nqa-admin-udpjitter] jitter-codec g711a

  3. Start the test instance immediately.

    [*DeviceD-nqa-admin-udpjitter] start now
    [*DeviceD-nqa-admin-udpjitter] commit

  4. Verify the test result. Run the display nqa results test-instance admin udpjitter command on Device D. The command output shows that the round-trip delay time is less than 250 ms, and the jitter time is less than 20 ms.
