Abstract
SIP-based Internet telephony systems need to be appropriately dimensioned, as the call and
registration rate can reach several thousand requests a second. This draft proposes an initial simple
set of metrics for evaluating and benchmarking the performance of SIP proxy, redirect and
registrar servers. The benchmark SIPstone-A expresses a weighted average of these metrics.
