|
| Response Time Analysis/Key Performance Indicators |
- Passive application responsiveness measurements
- Response time metrics for virtually all application types
- 1-minute granularity for: average response time, number of active sessions, successful transactions, and server error types in nGenius Performance Manager
- 15 minute granularity for: maximum & average response time per client/server pair, total number of transactions, successful transactions, TCP connect time, active sessions, timeouts and retries, as well as, total packet loss, responses time distribution, and application payload in nGenius Performance Manager
- Measures key performance indicators including packet loss, inter-packet delay, client and server errors, and timeouts via nGenius K2 for advanced alarming
|
| VoIP Convergence Management |
- Volume, utilization, host and conversation details for RTP Voice and RTP Video protocols
- Application-layer details for call set-up protocols, such as SIP, H.323, Q.931 and MGCP, plus Cisco’s SCCP and Avaya’s H.323 extensions
- VoIP quality metrics: jitter, call set-up time, packet loss, incomplete and failed calls
- Analysis by IP addresses, phone extensions and connect times
- Packet-level visibility and decode of voice protocols
- Voice configuration data including Codec, phone numbers or resolved aliases and QoS assignments
- VoIP replay functionality
|
| Network Management Metrics |
- TCP, HTTP and server-specific performance and error conditions
- Percent Utilization and Packet Byte Counts for: link, host, host group, applications, conversations
- Link aggregation combines traffic data from multiple interfaces to support load balanced and redundant links
- Site monitoring tracks traffic from remote offices
|
| Alarming and Event Identification |
- Define alarms for link utilization, CRC errors, application utilization, application response time, application availability as well as broadcast packets, multicast packet and multicast packets on the LAN
- Burst Alarms at millisecond resolution
- “Power Alarms” highlight root cause by gathering top users and applications automatically at violation time for segments exceeding utilization, responsiveness and availability thresholds
- Rising, falling and time over-threshold templates
- Auto-actions to trigger scripts, packets decode and SNMP traps
|
- 15-second real-time views with 1-millisecond peaks
- 1-minute historically logged data for all application, hosts, and conversation flows
- Sub-second granularity for link level views
|
- LAN – Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet
- Virtual Channels – VLANs, QoS Groups
- Encrypted Channels – MPLS, IP enabled VPN
|
