IP SLA Module
The LiveNX IP SLA technology module makes Cisco IOS IP service level agreement (SLA) operations easily accessible for generating synthetic network traffic to monitor latency, loss, jitter, and mean opinion score (MOS) for VoIP. For more details, refer to IP SLA.
Features
• Latency, loss, jitter, and MOS performance measurements
• System wide IPSLA hub and spoke and mesh configurations
• Test types: DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP, ICMP Echo, Jitter, Path Echo, Path Jitter, UDP Echo
• Traffic type configuration
• Protocol type: more than 10 protocol types
• DHCP: destination, source, circuit ID, remote ID, subnet mask
• Test frequency setting
• Jitter test parameters—VoIP codec simulation (G.711 ulaw, G.711 alaw, G.729a)
• Mode: active or passive
• Packet priority: normal or high
• Precision: in microseconds or milliseconds
• IP SLA topology view (real time)
• Multiple colors for visualization
• Loss indicators
• Normal and above-threshold indicators
• Lists of running tests (indicating source, type, status)
• Quick and full test options
• Set up responder at destination
• Start/Stop traffic tests
• Edit, save, or delete test configurations
• Export results to CSV file
• Historical reporting (live update averages over timeline)
• Variable sampling rates: from 10 seconds to 5 minutes
• Latency: milliseconds over time, microseconds for jitter
• Loss: number of dropped packets
• VoIP MOS range: 1-5
