Usage

sipp remote_host[:remote_port] [options]

Available options

  -v               : Display version and copyright information.
  -aa              : Enable automatic 200 OK answer for INFO and NOTIFY
                     messages.
  -auth_uri        : Force the value of the URI for authentication.
                     By default, the URI is composed of
                     remote_ip:remote_port.
  -base_cseq       : Start value of [cseq] for each call.
  -bg              : Launch SIPp in background mode.
  -bind_local      : Bind socket to local IP address, i.e. the local IP
                     address is used as the source IP address.  If SIPp runs
                     in server mode it will only listen on the local IP
                     address instead of all IP addresses.
  -buff_size       : Set the send and receive buffer size.
  -cid_str         : Call ID string (default %u-%p@%s).  %u=call_number,
                     %s=ip_address, %p=process_number, %%=% (in any order).
  -d               : Controls the length (in milliseconds) of calls. More
                     precisely, this controls the duration of 'pause'
                     instructions in the scenario, if they do not have a
                     'milliseconds' section. Default value is 0.
  -f               : Set the statistics report frequency on screen (in
                     seconds). Default is 1.
  -fd              : Set the statistics dump log report frequency (in
                     seconds). Default is 60.
  -i               : Set the local IP address for 'Contact:','Via:', and
                     'From:' headers. Default is primary host IP address.


  -inf             : Inject values from an external CSV file during calls into
                     the scenarios.
                     First line of this file say whether the data is to be
                     read in sequence (SEQUENTIAL) or random (RANDOM) order.
                     Each line corresponds to one call and has one or more
                     ';' delimited data fields. Those fields can be referred
                     as [field0], [field1], ... in the xml scenario file.
  -ip_field        : Set which field from the injection file contains the IP
                     address from which the client will send its messages.
                     If this option is omitted and the '-t ui' option is
                     present, then field 0 is assumed.
                     Use this option together with '-t ui'
  -l               : Set the maximum number of simultaneous calls. Once this
                     limit is reached, traffic is decreased until the number
                     of open calls goes down. Default:
                       (3 * call_duration (s) * rate).
  -m               : Stop the test and exit when 'calls' calls are processed
  -mi              : Set the local media IP address
  -max_recv_loops  : Set the maximum number of messages received read per
                     cycle. Increase this value for high traffic level.  The
                     default value is 1000.
  -max_reconnect   : Set the the maximum number of reconnection.
  -max_retrans     : Maximum number of UDP retransmissions before call ends on
                     timeout.  Default is 5 for INVITE transactions and 7 for
                     others.
  -max_invite_retrans: Maximum number of UDP retransmissions for invite
                     transactions before call ends on timeout.
  -max_non_invite_retrans: Maximum number of UDP retransmissions for non-invite
                     transactions before call ends on timeout.
  -max_socket      : Set the max number of sockets to open simultaneously.
                     This option is significant if you use one socket per
                     call. Once this limit is reached, traffic is distributed
                     over the sockets already opened. Default value is 50000
  -mb              : Set the RTP echo buffer size (default: 2048).
  -mp              : Set the local RTP echo port number. Default is 6000.
  -nd              : No Default. Disable all default behavior of SIPp which
                     are the following:
                     - On UDP retransmission timeout, abort the call by
                       sending a BYE or a CANCEL
                     - On receive timeout with no ontimeout attribute, abort
                       the call by sending a BYE or a CANCEL
                     - On unexpected BYE send a 200 OK and close the call
                     - On unexpected CANCEL send a 200 OK and close the call
                     - On unexpected PING send a 200 OK and continue the call
                     - On any other unexpected message, abort the call by
                       sending a BYE or a CANCEL


  -nr              : Disable retransmission in UDP mode.
  -p               : Set the local port number.  Default is a random free port
                     chosen by the system.
  -pause_msg_ign   : Ignore the messages received during a pause defined in
                     the scenario
  -r               : Set the call rate (in calls per seconds).  This value can
                     bechanged during test by pressing '+','_','*' or '/'.
                     Default is 10.
                     pressing '+' key to increase call rate by 1,
                     pressing '-' key to decrease call rate by 1,
                     pressing '*' key to increase call rate by 10,
                     pressing '/' key to decrease call rate by 10.
                     If the -rp option is used, the call rate is calculated
                     with the period in ms given by the user.
  -rp              : Specify the rate period in milliseconds for the call
                     rate.  Default is 1 second.  This allows you to have n
                     calls every m milliseconds (by using -r n -rp m).
                     Example: -r 7 -rp 2000 ==> 7 calls every 2 seconds.
  -rate_increase   : Specify the rate increase every -fd seconds.  This allows
                     you to increase the load for each independent logging
                     period.
                     Example: -rate_increase 10 -fd 10
                       ==> increase calls by 10 every 10 seconds.
  -rate_max        : If -rate_increase is set, then quit after the rate
                     reaches this value.
                     Example: -rate_increase 10 -max_rate 100
                       ==> increase calls by 10 until 100 cps is hit.
  -recv_timeout    : Global receive timeout in milliseconds.  If the expected
                     message is not received, the call times out and is
                     aborted.
  -reconnect_close : Should calls be closed on reconnect?
  -reconnect_sleep : How long to sleep between the close and reconnect?
  -rsa             : Set the remote sending address to host:port for sending
                     the messages.
  -rtp_echo        : Enable RTP echo. RTP/UDP packets received on port defined
                     by -mp are echoed to their sender.
                     RTP/UDP packets coming on this port + 2 are also echoed
                     to their sender (used for sound and video echo).
  -rtt_freq        : freq is mandatory. Dump response times every freq calls
                     in the log file defined by -trace_rtt. Default value is
                     200.
  -s               : Set the username part of the resquest URI. Default is
                     'service'.
  -sd              : Dumps a default scenario (embeded in the sipp executable)
  -sf              : Loads an alternate xml scenario file.  To learn more
                     about XML scenario syntax, use the -sd option to dump
                     embedded scenarios. They contain all the necessary help.
  -sn              : Use a default scenario (embedded in the sipp executable).
                     If this option is omitted, the Standard SipStone UAC
                     scenario is loaded.
                     Available values in this version:

                     3PCC role.
                     - When the first twin command is 'sendCmd' then this is
                       the address of the remote twin socket.  SIPp will try to
                       connect to this address:port to send the twin command
                       (This instance must be started after all other 3PCC

                     - When the first twin command is 'recvCmd' then this is
                       the address of the local twin socket. SIPp will open
                       this address:port to listen for twin command.
                         Example: 3PCC-C-B scenario.
  -tdmmap          : Generate and handle a table of TDM circuits.
                     A circuit must be available for the call to be placed.
                     Format: -tdmmap {0-3}{99}{5-8}{1-31}
  -key             : key value
                     Set the generic parameter named "key" to "value".

Signal handling

  SIPp can be controlled using posix signals. The following signals
  are handled:
  USR1: Similar to press 'q' keyboard key. It triggers a soft exit
        of SIPp. No more new calls are placed and all ongoing calls
        are finished before SIPp exits.
        Example: kill -SIGUSR1 732
  USR2: Triggers a dump of all statistics screens in
        <scenario_name>_<pid>_screens.log file. Especially useful
        in background mode to know what the current status is.
        Example: kill -SIGUSR2 732

Exit code

  Upon exit (on fatal error or when the number of asked calls (-m
  option) is reached, sipp exits with one of the following exit
  code:
   0: All calls were successful
   1: At least one call failed
  97: exit on internal command. Calls may have been processed
  99: Normal exit without calls processed
  -1: Fatal error


Example

  Run sipp with embedded server (uas) scenario:
    ./sipp -sn uas
  On the same host, run sipp with embedded client (uac) scenario
    ./sipp -sn uac 127.0.0.1
