To do… Use the command… Remarks
Configure the destination
address of UDP packets
destination ip ip-address
Required
By default, no destination IP address is
configured.
The destination address must be the same as the
IP address of the listening service configured on
the NQA server.
Configure the destination port
of UDP packets
destination port
port-number
Required
By default, no destination port number is
configured.
The destination port number must be the same as
that of the listening service on the NQA server.
Configure the size of the data
field in each UDP packet
data-size size
Optional
100 bytes by default.
Configure the string to be filled
in the data field of each UDP
packet
data-fill string
Optional
By default, the string is the hexadecimal number
00010203040506070809.
Specify the source port of UDP
packets
source port port-number
Optional
By default, no source port number is specified.
Configure the source IP
address of UDP packets
source ip ip-address
Optional
By default, no source IP address is specified.
The source IP address must be that of an interface
on the device and the interface must be up;
otherwise, no probe packets can be sent out.
Configure optional parameters

optional parameters for
an NQA test group”

Configuring voice tests
NOTE:
Do not perform voice tests on known ports, ports from 1 to 1023. Otherwise, the NQA test might fail
or the
corresponding services of these ports might be unavailable.
Voice tests of an NQA test group are used to test voice over IP (VoIP) network status, and collect VoIP
network parameters so that users can adjust the network.
A voice test performs the following procedure:
1. The source (NQA client) sends voice packets of G.711 A-law, G.711 μ-law or G.729 A-law
codec type at regular intervals to the destination (NQA server).
2. The destination affixes a time stamp to each voice packet that it receives and then sends it back to
the source.
3. Upon receiving the packet, the source calculates results, such as the delay jitter and one-way delay
based on the packet time stamps. The statistics reflect network performance.
Voice test result also includes the following parameters that reflect VoIP network performance:
