Measure network latency, jitter and web download time.

The Cisco IP-SLA (also known as Cisco SAA) is an application that monitors network performance by measuring response time, network resource availability, application performance, jitter (interpacket delay variance), connect time, throughput, and packet loss. Performance can be measured between any Cisco devices that support this feature and any remote host (IP).

The Cisco IP-SLA is especially useful for enterprise and service provider networks, since it provides expanded measurement capabilities. In particular, IP-SLA is a reliable mechanism for accurately monitoring the metrics in service level agreements (SLAs).

APG consolidates information from Cisco devices configuration and presents it in a meaningful way, alongside the measurements of network performance and health offered by APG's core software. With sophisticated grouping and sorting capabilities, APG creates concise and easy-tounderstand reports, providing organizations a set of services such as path response time, path availability, path jitter measurements, application response time, SLA reporting and alerting over threshold breaches.

Out-of-the-box reports display statistics broken down according to devices, probes, and metrics. The embedded-reporting engine also allows creation of detailed customized reports using various presentation formats, such as pie charts, bar, charts or tables and match groupings to corporate policies.
