PVQA PCAP Analyzer

The document outlines the purpose and functionality of the pvqa_pcap command line utility, which calculates MOS for RTP streams from .pcap files and can decode audio to .wav PCM files. It specifies the hardware and software requirements, as well as the operation model, including supported codecs and command line parameters. The utility does not require a database and provides network statistics alongside the MOS value for audio streams.

Document objectives.

This document describes application purpose, requirements, software architecture and user operations for
pvqa_pcap command line utility from Sevana Ou.

Application purpose.

Application purpose is to calculate MOS for RTP streams directly from .pcap files; also it is possible to
decode audio to .wav PCM files.

Hardware requirements.
Nothing special. Any desktop / laptop / RPi or another ARM based singleboard computer.

Software requirements.
Software requirements - ​Linux / macOS / OpenWRT.​ Installation is simple -just unpack archive with binary
and license/configuration files.

Utility does not require database connection and does not use any database software itself.

Operation model.

In other words - how it works ?

pvqa_pcap is utility that parses .pcap files (and .pcapng also), extracts RTP streams, decode them to audio
(optionally audio can be saved to files), calculates & prints PVQA MOS value + basic network statistics to
console for all found audio streams. For now SIP/SDP parsing is not supported; it is work in progress yet.

Supported codecs are:


● G711
● G722
● G729
● Opus
● AMR narrowband / wideband
● iLBC

Parameters list.

Configuration of the utility is made from command line. Available parameters are listed in the table below:

Parameter name Parameter description

--input Path to input .pcap file. Only single file can be specified.

--save-audio Decoded audio will be saved to files.

--json-output Make output in json instead of plain text.

Specify Opus codec payload types as rate/channels/ptype string (ex.


--opus-ptype
16000/1/103).

--amr-nb-ptype Specify AMR narrowband payload type (default one is 105).

--amr-wb-ptype Specify AMR wideband payload type (default one is 106).

--help Show help.

Here is example of command line:


./pvqa_pcap --input g711_single_stream.pcap

Output is:
