22) Goto   C://cygwin  and click   terminal.bat  file

23)   Compile

            # cd sipp
            # ./configure --with-pcap
            #  make pcapplay_ossl or make pcap

24) ./sipp XXX.XX.XX.XXX -sf REGISTER_client.xml -inf Register_client.csv -m 1

Installing SIPp on linux (Ubuntu)

SIPp:


SIPp is a  stress or performance test tool / traffic generator for the SIP protocol. It can work in both Scenarios (UAC /UAS) and establishes and releases multiple calls with the INVITE and BYE methods.It can also reads Custom XML scenario files describing from very simple to complex call flows. It features the dynamic display of statistics about running tests (call rate, round trip delay, and message statistics), periodic CSV statistics dumps, TCP and UDP over multiple sockets or multiplexed with retransmission management and dynamically adjustable call rates.

SIPp can also send media (RTP) traffic through RTP echo and RTP /pcap replay. Media can be audio or video.

SIPp can be used to test various real SIP equipment like SIP proxies, B2BUAs, SIP media servers, SIP/x gateways, SIP PBX, ... It is also very useful to emulate thousands of user agents calling your SIP system.
