IP SLA Monitoring Tool

IP SLA Monitoring

The dependence on the Enterprise network is exponentially increasing day by day for both internal and external communication. With this growing dependence, network bandwidth consumption is constantly on the rise on an exponential basis. With this increasing dependence on the network for everyday business communication, service levels are of for utmost importance.

Proactively monitoring traffic and analyzing the performance of the network by measuring critical network traffic parameters critical for any network. With increasing popularity of voice and data on the network, Cisco IP SLA reports provide the most vital metrics that help in building the most business-friendly network.

Benefits of an IP SLA monitoring software

The following are the benefits an IP SLA monitoring software offers:

1) SLA monitoring

This includes monitoring current service levels based on quantifiable metrics. There metrics are a measure of the current levels of service and that impacts the network performance thereby mandating the need to monitor them. It also helps in verifying the effectiveness of current SLAs.

2) Performance monitoring

Vital factors like jitter, latency, packet loss and Mean Opinion Score(MoS) are measured by IP SLA monitoring. It is essential to keep these metrics under allowable values so as to ensure optimum performance.

3) Network availability monitoring

Measuring WAN (RoundTrip Time)RTT is essential for ensuring continuous availability of the network. The availability of network is very essential as it directly impacts business continuity. This is a result of Enterprises adopting the network for every single operation considering the process improvement it offers and the cost efficiency. But, this also means that, downtime is an expensive affair that could not just incur losses but also impair the business till it is restored. Hence, monitoring continuity of availability is very essential.

4) Quick troubleshooting

Constant monitoring of service levels results in alerting the network Administrator of possible hiccups that are liable to occur in the network.

Advantages of IP SLA:

  1. Embedded in Cisco IOS that rules out the need for any separate hardware or software installation
  2. Automated, real-time and accurate monitoring of network health
  3. End to end monitoring
  4. No additional hardware cost
  5. Vast extent of pervasiveness
  6. Measurement of critical factors like jitter, latency, packet loss, MoS and RTT
  7. Extreme ease of deploying

ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer IP SLA monitoring and reports:

NetFlow Analyzer supports Cisco IP SLA for voice and data. Networks for voice and data have increasingly becoming prominent. A majority of Enterprises bank heavily on their networks for voice and data communication. The network is a primary dependency for organizational productivity. Here are the ways NetFlow Analyzer generates reports on Cisco IP SLA:

Voice Over Internet Protocol(VoIP) Monitor

  • Ensuring effective VoIP deployment is critical for internal and external parties associated with the organization. The VoIP is a powerful tool that boosts productivity in more than one way. Thus, an efficient VoIP can help the organization as much as an ineffective set-up can ruin the productivity. VoIP monitor in NetFlow Analyzer provides key performance metrics of your VoIP network. The parameters measured include Jitter, Latency, Packet Loss. The metrics are presented in an easy-to-understand manner with graphs and charts.

WAN Round Trip Time(RTT) Monitor

  • Connectivity is the most vital aspect of an Enterprise that has its different parts woven together by the network. To ensure seamless functioning of business that largely depends on the network, monitoring constant connectivity is mandatory. The WAN RTT monitor is used to monitor WAN availability, Latency and Quality of Service. Alerts are triggered when the set thresholds are violated, enabling the administrators to attend to the fault in no time.
