Benefits of IP Service Level Agreements

This table lists the benefits of implementing IP SLA.

Table 21: List of Benefits for IP SLA

Description

Benefit

Provides service level agreement monitoring,
measurement, and verification.

IP SLA monitoring

Measure the jitter, latency, or packet loss in the
network. In addition, IP SLA provides continuous,
reliable, and predictable measurements along with
proactive notification.

Network performance monitoring

Verifies that the existing QoS is sufficient for the new
IP services.

IP service network health assessment

Provides consistent, reliable measurement that
immediately identifies problems and saves
troubleshooting time.

Troubleshooting of network operation

Measuring Network Performance with IP Service Level Agreements

IP SLA uses generated traffic to measure network performance between two networking devices, such as
routers.

Figure 4: IP SLA Operations, on page 201

shows how IP SLA starts when the IP SLA device sends

a generated packet to the destination device. After the destination device receives the packet and if the operation
uses an IP SLA component at the receiving end (for example, IP SLA Responder), the reply packet includes
information about the delay at the target device. The source device uses this information to improve the
