Abstract
A computer program product is embodied on a computer readable medium for using voice data traffic to reproduce a user experience for facilitating troubleshooting of at least one of a plurality of VoIP stations. The computer program product includes computer-executable instructions for retrieving packets of the voice data traffic associated with the VoIP station, and identifying time stamps associated with the retrieved packets. An amount of jitter associated with each of the retrieved packets is determined at least partially dependently upon the identified time stamps, and it is determined whether each of the retrieved packets will fit into a jitter buffer at least partially dependently upon the determined amounts of jitter. The instructions include dropping select ones of the retrieved packets dependently upon the determination of whether each of the retrieved packets will fit into the jitter buffer and, filling a buffer with at least select ones of the retrieved data packets not dropped.
