Statistics
The Mediatrix 4104 collects meaningful statistics that can be read via the RTP MIB.
RTP Statistics
RTP statistics are related to the transmission of information and include, but are not limited to:

Number of octets transmitted/received

Number of packets transmitted/received

Number of lost packets

Percentage of lost packets

Minimum, maximum and average Jitter interarrival time (time, in milliseconds, between the
arrival of packets)

Minimum, maximum and average latency time
These statistics are located under the rtpStats group of the rtpMIB . See the MIB Reference manual for more
details.
Statistics Buffers
Each statistics has three different buffers in which they are collected:
How are Statistics Collected?
When collecting statistics, you can do so in two ways:

Continuous collection of statistics.
In this case, the cumulated statistics are not used (disabled) and the current statistics are constantly
updated.

Collection of statistics for a defined period of time with a user-defined accuracy.
For instance, you could define to keep the statistics for the last 24 periods of 1 hour.

To set statistics collection:
1. In the sysConfigMIB , locate the sysConfigStats group.
2. Set the period length you want to keep in the sysConfigStatsPeriodLength variable.
The length of a period may vary from 5 minutes to 24 hours, by 5-minutes sections. At expiration,
the current statistics are added to the cumulated statistics buffer and then reset. Note that modifying
the value of this variable resets statistics to 0.
Table 226: Statistics Buffers
Statistic Description
