Re: [VoiceOps] SIP ladder diagram builder

I opened two bug reports today and got a response to both within 10
minutes. Looks like it's still being monitored.

Also, make sure you're using the newest version, not the one from 2012:

Excellent! I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to
your quarterly newsletter and attend your biannual leadership seminar.

[Eric Wieling]

A few years ago I hacked together something in PHP which we use 
internally, it uses pcap2msc and msgen.


I can't release the code, but the snippet below should give you a good 
idea..


system("python /usr/local/bin/pcap2msc $pcap_filename_in sip | 
mscgen -T png -o $png_filename_out > /dev/null 2>&1");

Subject: [VoiceOps] SIP ladder diagram builder

Hello,

Is there a nice SIP ladder diagram building utility these days into which one 
can feed a packet capture and get a ladder diagram out?

I see the decaying skeletons of several such ventures online, but what's the 
new news?

sngrep is fantastic for live troubleshooting, but unfortunately its rendering 
is not export-orientated and doesn't lend itself to automaton.

Either image or ASCII output is fine. Just needs to be automatic and exportable.

Many thanks!

there was an application called sip-scenario written in perl, which
generated browsable static html files from a pcap file, all in a folder
that could be easily archived and sent over to others.

It is referenced from:

  - https://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/SIP+Scenario

It is pointing to iptel.org, which seems to be down (I should ask the
guys behind it why). It was not written by iptel.org guys, they just
hosted a copy.

I should still have a copy somewhere myself as well, but, iirc, it
throws some errors with the last Perl. I used quite extensively at some
point, before sngrep. It created the diagram in an html page, allowing
to click on the arrows to view the text sip message in another frame
(a-la sipcapture). It was on my plan to try to fix it few years ago, but
no much time and lack of proper Perl knowledge kept me away, then sngrep
popped up, etc.

Should anyone be interested, maybe I should dig for it and push to a
github repo where people can grab/fix/contribute/fork.

Cheers,
Daniel

Re: [VoiceOps] SIP ladder diagram builder

Hi Alex

It is raw packet capture [e.g. SIP, ENUM etc RTP and RTCP] from a tap such as a 
span sport/port mirroring. Totally vendor independent  standalone system, 
software only, runs on Debian Linux. Also can act as a VQ Collector to collect  
out-of-band RTCP-XR

Many thanks
Richard

Re: [VoiceOps] SIP ladder diagram builder

[Richard Jobson]

 Please forgive me for lowering the tone of the conversation, but if you  are 
not getting what you need from the open source community, dare I mention a 
commercial product?

Palladion/OCOM’s  message flow diagram can be downloaded in HTML format, and 
that provides you with the  raw SIP messages as well as the message flow 
diagram,  nicely presented. You can also download as PDF

The API is RESTful API from which you can pull, not only the messages; message 
flow diagram but also CDR’s, media measurement information  and also a  whole 
range of KPI’s and performance metrics

Also, you don’t have to deal directly with “O”, ;) ;)  if you  don’t want to

 Thanks ☺
Richard

If there is one that can do this via an API, I haven't found it.
Although you could probably script something with either cloudshark or
homer.

Homer can export to png.
