Abstract: The paper deals with performance testing of IP Multimedia Subsystem networks. The main goal is to show a simple test workstation using Open IMS Core platform and virtualization and make some benchmark tests on it. The tests were based on ETSI TS 186 008 standard for IMS/NGN performance testing which is also presented in a paper. The configuration of test workstation is described, including constraints, problems and their solutions that arose during our work with Open IMS Core platform. We have performed several tests three of which are presented in a paper.
