Graph descriptions

response delay

Time for each response; on X-axis is request time, i.e. when was the request sent, on Y-axis is how long time was between sending request and receiving the response. This value is not the same as values measured by watching network traffic probably due to sipp processing delay.

response delay histogram

Histogram made from time differences between sending request and receiving response. It shows numbers of response times grouped by 10 ms.

CPU usage

Shows sumary for all monitored processes for given time. Monitored processors can be set within variables script when generating the output (not needed in runtime). This output is taken from top which collects this information for one second. It can be more than 100% in the case of more processors (for example tc4 has two hyperthreaded processors thus it can show values up to 400%).

sent request histogram

Shows numbers of sent requests grouped by one second. Sometimes it shows strange jumps (for example in t_relay scenario after shmem is gone)...

Test result notes

SIPP is set to allow at most 32 calls at the same time. This means that when there are 32 pending calls (waiting for response) it doesn't create new ones.
