Sipp is a GNU GPL open source software, provided to you by Hewlett-Packard
engineers. HP does not provide any support or warranty concerning Sipp but
you can likely get email-based support from the sipp users community.

Sipp is a performance testing tool for the SIP protocol. It features:

• Dependency free compilation (no external library to buy/install)
• Works on HPUX, Tru64 and Linux systems
• Embedded basic SipStone user agent scenarios (UAC & UAS) that establish and release multiple calls with INVITE and BYE
• Accept custom XML scenario files describing SIP call flows
• Dynamically adjustable call rate
• Dynamic display of statistics about running traffic (active calls, call rate, round trip delay between specified messages, messages count)
• Periodic CSV statistics dumps (spreadsheet applications compatible) TCP and UDP (with retransmission management) over one or multiple sockets -  enabling a true emulation of thousands of user agents
• Posix regular expressions and variables in scenarios - allowing complex call flows
