.IX Title "sipp 1"
.TH sipp 1 "2004-06-16" "sipp" "User Contributed Documentation"
.SH "NAME"
sipp \- A benchworking tool for the SIP protocol.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Sipp is a performance test tool / traffic generator for the \s-1SIP\s0 
protocol. It comes with a few basic SipStone user-agents
scenarios (\s-1UAC\s0 & \s-1UAS\s0), establishing and releasing multiple 
calls with the \s-1INVITE\s0 and \s-1BYE\s0 methods. 
.PP
It can also read \s-1XML\s0 scenario files describing any performance 
testing configuration for \s-1SIP\s0.
