You're asking the same questions. Unless you're a competent C/C++ programmer, there's no easy way to convert a PCM file into RTP - not that I know of.

The tool you need to do exactly what you want is IxVoice and the RTP Test Library. It can send a pre-recorded wav file with a known PESQ score across a network and back to itself. It will record the return stream as a wav which you can then compare to the original for determining QoV degradation.

I've seen this product work and it's impressive.  It is not free, though.

Perhaps i should ask in another way....


1) I have a standard voice file .wav on hand and i would like to send
it to a destination port using rtpplay and thus capture the packets
using Ethereal. May i know is there any way/tool that can help me to
convert the .wav voice file to .rtp file with all the header
information attached?
2) or is there any way i can directly send the .wav voice file to a
specified UDP port and then capture the network traffic using
Ethereal?

Beside the no1 and 2 as asked above, is there any others better
/smarter/more appropriate way for me to send a standard .wav file ( in
PCM coding) to any other PC (IP's port ) and thus i can capture it
using Ethereal in order to measure the call quality. The motive is
that..i need a reference file ( the original .wav file) and a degraded
file ( the one sent to specified port) so that i am able to measure
the call quality using PESQ algorithm.

THank you for any of your help and suggestions or comments.

HAve a nice day.

regards,
Janice
