gives time for implementation processes to follow through. The planning
thresholds can be set 5% to 15% below the QoS objectives, depending on the
implementation lag time.
Intranet QoS monitoring
To monitor one-way delay and packet loss statistics, you must install a delay
and route monitoring tool, such as ping and traceroute, on the T - LAN
of each ITG site. Each delay monitoring tool will be running continuously,
injecting probe packets to each ITG site about every minute. The amount of
load generated by this is not considered important. At the end of the month,
the hours with the highest one-way delay are noted; within those hours, the
packet loss and standard deviation statistics can be computed.
(See “Measure intranet QoS” on page 114 for information about
implementation of the ping hosts and the use of scripting.)
(See “Obtain QoS measurement tools” on page 118 for information about
where to obtain other more specialized delay and route monitoring tools.)
At the end of the month, the technician can analyze each site’s QoS
information. Table 23 provides a sample.
Declines in QoS can be observed through the comparison of QoS between last
period and current period. If a route does not meet your QoS objective, you
must take immediate action to improve the route’s performance.
