Creating OpenLane
Service Level Management (SLM) Reports
The OpenLane SLM Reports (part of Performance Wizard) enables network
administrators of FrameSaver SLV devices to provide securely partitioned access
for their users to create and view reports, via the World Wide Web, that pertain
only to their portion of the frame relay network. These reports include a summary
of overall network performance, as well as detailed statistics on a per PVC basis
of network latency, availability, and frame delivery success rate (throughput) for
accurate service level agreement verification. This measurement of throughput
uses the Paradyne proprietary TruePut technology which precisely measures
both within and above CIR, eliminating inaccuracies due to averaging. Reports
are also available for physical inventory of the network’s device names, locations,
serials numbers, DLCIs, and port speeds.
Network performance data is gathered from all FrameSaver SLV RMON-2 user
history buckets at configurable intervals for 24 hours, allowing for offline or after
hours retrieval of all needed report data. Also, the FrameSaver SLV units can be
polled in real time for online troubleshooting and performance monitoring. All
devices must first be added to the OpenLane Device Explorer database.
Web Browsers Supported
Users interact with the system via a Web browser. The following are
recommended:
H
Netscape Communicator 4.04 or higher
H
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0
The SLM Reports have been tested with the Apache Web server, although other
Web servers may work as well, including Web servers that use Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) for data encryption. Be aware that encryption greatly slows the
throughput of the system. If the Apache Web server is not installed, refer to the
Apache Web site at http://www.apache.org for installation instructions.
