I see numerous examples of many tools providing a mechanism to play back the audio captured in RTP streams, but none of them go into any detail on whether the play back accurately represents the original user's call quality experience.


I believe Fluke's product line's are capable of replaying the VoIP exactly as the user would have heard it (assuming the capture occurred at the right location)

Also, check out Clearsight.  I believe they too have a thorough support for VoIP.
