IP SLAs TWAMP ResponderLast Updated: August 27, 2012
This module describes how to configure an IETF Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) responder on a Cisco device to measure IP performance between the Cisco device and a non-Cisco TWAMP control device on your network.
Finding Feature InformationYour software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table at the end of this module.

Information About IP SLAs TWAMP ResponderTWAMPThe IETF Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) defines a standard for measuring round-trip network performance between any two devices that support the TWAMP protocols. The TWAMP-Control protocol is used to set up performance measurement sessions. The TWAMP-Test protocol is used to send and receive performance-measurement probes. The TWAMP architecture is composed of the following four logical entities that are responsible for starting a monitoring session and exchanging packets:
Although TWAMP defines the different entities for flexibility, it also allows for logical merging of the roles on a single device for ease of implementation. The figure below shows the four entities that make up the TWAMP architecture. IP SLAs TWAMP Responder v1.0A TWAMP responder interoperates with the control-client and session-sender on another device that supports TWAMP. In the IP SLAs TWAMP Responder v1.0 feature, the session-reflector and TWAMP server that make up the responder must be co-located on the same device. In the figure below, one device is the control-client and session-sender (TWAMP control device), and the other two devices are Cisco devices that are configured as IP SLAs TWAMP responders. Each IP SLAs TWAMP responder is both a TWAMP server and a session-reflector. How to Configure an IP SLAs TWAMP ResponderConfiguring the TWAMP Server

DETAILED STEPS Configuration Examples for IP SLAs TWAMP ResponderIP SLAs TWAMP Responder v1.0 Example The following example and partial output shows how to configure the TWAMP server and the session-reflector for IP SLAs TWAMP Responder v1.0 on the same Cisco device. In this configuration, port 12 is the (default) port to be used by the TWAMP server to listen for connection and control requests. The default port for the server listener is the RFC-specified port and can be reconfigured, if required.
