Hi ,
As a part of my MS project I proposed a 3-party authentication protocol
which can be used in SIP too. for SIP. The proxy server utilizes this
protocol to authenticate the UC's Invite,using the Registrar server. Now,
I have to estimate the totoal overhead of the scheme on a normal SIP call.
I searched dozens of SIP, UMTS, GSM related papers to find a simulator or
emulator which could be used to to achive the goal but I couldn't get any
solutions as I need to consider execution of the RSA,AES and SHA on the
agent's processor, I also need the solution to answer me with not too much
programming due to my time constraints. I browsed the Resirocate project
docs but I don't think then can answer me in time. I am also not sure
whether SIPp, MS LIve communication server and SERcan help me? Could you
please suggest me any rapid solutions? Any simulation techniques?any
piece of software or programmining interface? By the way I am a little
familiar with opnet as I did a tiny project with it. Doest it help me?
Hi Samira,
you could use a SIP library like pjlib to create your testing scenario. But if
you simply want to determine the overhead, then you could also estimate or
calculate this easily, at least for the traffic overhead. The run-time
overhead could also be roughly estimated.
Simulation or a real implementation is of course more acurate, but also much
more work..
cheers,
