Abstract
The paper presents a system for monitoring the speech quality in the IP telephony infrastructures using modular probes that are placed at key nodes in the network. The system is developed mainly within research of the Czech educational and scientific network, but the tool can generally be used in any IP telephone traffic. The system is capable of using an objective intrusive methods to measure speech quality dynamically and the results are collected on a central server. Information about the speech quality are displayed in the form of automatically generated maps and tables. The article is logically divided into a description of the technology and algorithms, as well as the implementation procedure is presented and measured results were validated in real traffic. Contribution of the work consists of a new system design utilizing modular probes for the measurement of speech quality in IP telephony networks and the result of applied research enables administrators to respond and optimize network traffic efficiently.
