Tools and procedure for Network testing

[Joe Yabuki <joeyabukiyin () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I just wanted to know how you do your network testing when validating a new
design/technology in your Network, especially to ensure that it will meet
your SLA requirements for example that a voice call will not be dropped in
case of a network element failure ?

Do you test with IXIA, multiping, launch somes VM using ping with -i
option, Windows ping by setting the timeout interval, or may be directly
from the Network device (routers...),

Many thanks,
Joe
