About Cisco IOS IP SLA
Cisco IOS IP SLA sends data across the network to measure performance between multiple network
locations or across multiple network paths. It simulates network data and IP services and collects
network performance information in real time. Cisco IOS IP SLA generates and analyzes traffic either
between Cisco IOS devices or from a Cisco IOS device to a remote IP device such as a network
application server. Measurements provided by the various Cisco IOS IP SLA operations can be used for
troubleshooting, for problem analysis, and for designing network topologies.
Depending on the specific Cisco IOS IP SLA operation, various network performance statistics are
monitored within the Cisco device and stored in both command-line interface (CLI) and Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) MIBs. IP SLA packets have configurable IP and application layer
Command Purpose Location
