12 SLA Monitoring.

Introduction The SpeedTouch™ supports Service Level Agreement/QoS monitoring on a continuous basis. An extended ping or trace route process can be started from the SpeedTouch™ to another node in the worldwide IP network, to measure the QoS (round-trip delay, packet loss, jitter, availability, routing stability, ..) to this other node and all intermediate nodes. Interim and final results can be consulted on web, CLI and via SNMP (RFC 2925).

Ping and traceroute are two very useful functions for managing networks. Ping is typically used to determine if a path exists between two hosts while traceroute shows an actual path

Ping Process Ping is implemented using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) "ECHO" facility. The SpeedTouch™ supports the DISMAN-PING-MIB as in RFC 2925 and up to four concurrent ping tests.

SLA Ping Configuration The SLA ping process can be configured by executing the following CLI command:

=>:sla ping add test=internet addr=11.0.0.138

The following parameters are mandatory :

test : this is just a name to identify the ping test

addr : this is the peer IP address to which the ICMP echo requests will be send
