[VOIPSEC] VoIP router test

[Frank Leonhardt]

It's not one I've had on the bench as yet, but if I had one I'd:

* See what happens when it's swamped (I'll roll-over, but how hard does it
land and does it recover).

* Check the QOS - does it give priority to VoIP traffic or data. Don't assume
it does! When you're checking the data, do it in both directions (i.e.
incoming connections to a server on the LAN, outgoing connections to a server
in the cloud).

* Determine if it'll accept calls without a registrar (useful, but can you
firewall such calls or turn the facility off completely if not needed).

* IMHO it's better to put these VoIP routers as close to the wall as
possible, so they can manage the QOS. If you do this, can it cope with VPN
pass-through or any other facilities you may need?

Also, I've noticed these units can combine ADSL modem, switch, 3+ FXS, WLAN
interface handling temporal key encryption, multiple simultaneous VoIP CODECs
and suchlike. Is the CPU up to it if all this is happening at once?
