Performance Assurance Agent
 • continuous in-service monitoring of Layer 2 & 3 SLA parameters, unicast or multicast
 – One-way and Round-Trip Latency (Delay)
 – One-way and Round-Trip Jitter (Delay Variation)
 – One-way Packet Loss
 – Continuous End-to-End path continuity check, Availability (SES)
 – IGMP Group join / leave delays
 • High Precision measurements
– 1 μs resolution
 • exclusive remote synchronization allows highly accurate one-way measurements over large
geographical areas. optional GPS not required for 1-way measurements, but may be used
as a timing/sync source.
• Large-scale performance assurance works in multiple topologies:
 – Point-to-Point Multipoint-to-Multipoint Mesh
 • Assures SLAs per vLAn/per coS/per ToS/per evc
 • Multi-SLA™ monitoring –up to 100 simultaneous instances
 • user settable SLA threshold crossing alerts using SnMP traps
