   * If you are seeing a lot of packet loss in one direction, this could be caused by a duplex mismatch somewhere in your network.
   * If you are new to video conferencing over IP, you may have had a duplex mismatch in your network for some time: TCP traffic will be slowed down by it - and this may pass unnoticed - but UDP traffic will be lost.

+  * In Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, and then open Performance.
+  * In the Windows Performance tool, expand Performance Logs and Alerts, right-click Counter Logs, and then click New Log Settings

+  If you want to monitor the amount of UDP packet loss you are experiencing I would use the performance logs and alerts utility.  The counter I
+  believe you would be interested in is under the UDP performance object, counter being "Datagrams Received Errors".  Also, you can query any
+  of these counters via WMI.
+====== Testing Soak Testing ======
+From: http://www.loadtest.com.au/types_of_tests/soak_tests.htm
+Network testing
+    Soak testing is running a system at high levels of load for prolonged periods of time.
+    A soak test would normally execute several times more transactions in an entire day (or night)
+    than would be expected in a busy day, to identify any performance problems that appear after a
+    large number of transactions have been executed.
+====== Packet Loss Testing ======
+From: http://packetloss.sourceforge.net/
+    Packetloss is a set of programs to detect packet losses in UDP and TCP between two hosts. It does
+    this by sending a continuous stream of packets, and detects any delay or loss in the streams. It is useful to measure the impact of failover tests
+====== Detecting IP Packet Loss for UberNerds ======

+   Now you might think someone would have a hard time hearing a 1/50 second gap in a 3 minute conversation.
+   And you would be right. But if there is an IP network in the middle of the conversation, it turns out that
+   drop detection depends greatly on the the piece of IP phone hardware/software one is talking on. In this case,
+   the Polycom IP phone on my desk was useless as an empirical tool in helping me track down the 0.05% packet loss
+   in question - I simply could not hear it. However, the Grandstream GXP-2000 (version 1.1.0.14) we have in our
+   test bed turned out to be an invaluable tool since it has the uncanny ability to turn the 1/50 second gap caused
+   by a single lost packet into a multi-second garbled mess. So, if like me, you enjoy testing for dropped packets,
+   I highly recommend adding the Grandstream to your toolbox - it is a great tool and worth far more than the retail price.
