SIPStone is more like SPEC CPU in that it specifies 10 call-flows (what we call “scenarios”) and then reports a weighted average of the 10. It that sense it is more micro-benchmark oriented. SPEC SIP is more a macro-benchmark that is meant to capture user behavior and be useful for capacity planning. Thus it uses “Simultaneous Number of Virtual Users” as its primary performance metric. SIPStone was developed by Columbia University and is available via license from SIPQuest.com. SPEC SIP was developed by consensus via the SPEC standardization process.
