Configuring IP SLAs UDP Jitter Operations

This document describes how to configure an IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) UDP jitter operation to analyze round-trip delay, one-way delay, one-way jitter, one-way packet loss, and connectivity in networks that carry UDP traffic in IPv4 or IPv6 networks. This module also explains how the data gathered using the UDP jitter operation can be displayed and analyzed using Cisco software commands.

Prerequisites for IP SLAs UDP Jitter Operations

  • Time synchronization, such as that provided by the Network Time Protocol (NTP), is required between the source and the target device to provide accurate one-way delay (latency) measurements. To configure NTP on source and target devices, perform the tasks in the “Performing Basic System Management” chapter of the Basic System Management Configuration Guide. Time synchronization is not required for one-way jitter and packet loss measurements. If time is not synchronized between source and target devices, one-way jitter and packet loss data are returned, but values of “0” are returned for the one-way delay measurements provided by the UDP jitter operation.

  • Before configuring any IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) application, use the show ip sla application command to verify that the operation type is supported on the software image.

Information About IP SLAs UDP Jitter Operations

IP SLAs UDP Jitter Operation

The IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) UDP jitter operation diagnoses network suitability for real-time traffic applications such as VoIP, video over IP, or real-time conferencing.

Jitter means inter-packet delay variance. When multiple packets are sent consecutively from a source to a destination, for example, 10 ms apart, and if the network is behaving ideally, the destination should receive the packets 10 ms apart. But if there are delays in the network (like queuing, arriving through alternate routes, and so on) the arrival delay between packets might be greater than or less than 10 ms. Using this example, a positive jitter value indicates that packets arrived greater than 10 ms apart. If packets arrive 12 ms apart, then positive jitter is 2 ms; if packets arrive 8 ms apart, negative jitter is 2 ms. For delay-sensitive networks like VoIP, positive jitter values are undesirable, and a jitter value of 0 is ideal.

However, the IP SLAs UDP jitter operation does more than just monitor jitter. As the UDP jitter operation includes data returned by the IP SLAs UDP operation, the UDP jitter operation can be used as a multipurpose data gathering operation. The packets that IP SLAs generate carry packet-sending and receiving sequence information, and sending and receiving time stamps from the source and the operational target. Based on this information, UDP jitter operations are capable of measuring the following:

  • Per-direction jitter (source to destination and destination to source)

  • Per-direction packet loss

  • Per-direction delay (one-way delay)

  • Round-trip delay (average round-trip time)

As paths for sending and receiving data may be different (asymmetric), the per-direction data allows you to more readily identify where congestion or other problems are occurring in the network.

The UDP jitter operation functions by generating synthetic (simulated) UDP traffic. Asymmetric probes support custom-defined packet sizes per direction with which different packet sizes can be sent in request packets (from the source device to the destination device) and in response packets (from the destination device to the source device).

The UDP jitter operation sends N number of UDP packets, each of size S, T milliseconds apart, from a source device to a destination device, at a given frequency of F. In response, UDP packets of size P is sent from the destination device to the source device. By default, ten packet frames (N), each with a payload size of 10 bytes (S), are generated every 10 ms (T), and the operation is repeated every 60 seconds (F). Each of these parameters is user-configurable, so as to best simulate the IP service that you provide, as shown in the table below.

How to Configure IP SLAs UDP Jitter Operations

Configuring the IP SLAs Responder on a Destination Device


Note

A responder should not configure a permanent port for a sender. If the responder configures a permanent port for a sender, even if the packets are successfully sent (no timeout or packet-loss issues), the jitter value is zero.

      Configuring a UDP Jitter Operation with Additional Characteristics


      Note
      • The IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) UDP jitter operation does not support the IP SLAs History feature because of the large volume of data involved with UDP jitter operations. This means that the following commands are not supported for UDP jitter operations: history buckets-kept, history filter, history lives-kept, samples-of-history-kept, and show ip sla history.
      • The MIB used by IP SLAs (CISCO-RTTMON-MIB) limits the hours-of-statistics kept for the UDP jitter operation to two hours. Configuring a larger value using the history hours-of-statistics hours global configuration change does not increase the value beyond two hours. However, the Data Collection MIB can be used to collect historical data for the operation. For more information, see the CISCO-DATA-COLLECTION-MIB.
      Before You Begin

      Before configuring a UDP jitter operation on a source device, the IP SLAs Responder must be enabled on the target device (the operational target). The IP SLAs Responder is available only on Cisco IOS software-based devices. To enable the Responder, perform the task in the “Configuring the IP SLAs Responder on the Destination Device” section.

          Troubleshooting Tips

          • If the IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation is not running and not generating statistics, add the verify-data command to the configuration (while configuring in IP SLA configuration mode) to enable data verification. When data verification is enabled, each operation response is checked for corruption. Use the verify-data command with caution during normal operations because it generates unnecessary overhead.

          • Use the debug ip sla trace and debug ip sla error commands to help troubleshoot issues with an IP SLAs operation.

          What to Do Next

          To add proactive threshold conditions and reactive triggering for generating traps (or for starting another operation) to an IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operation, see the “Configuring Proactive Threshold Monitoring” section.

            • udp-jitter has the ability to detect in which direction a packet was lost in. It also calculates statistics about the periods of packet loss

            • Loss Source to Destination: 19—Indicates that 19 packets were sent from the sender but never reached the responder.

            • Source to Destination Loss Periods Number: 19—Indicates that there were 19 incidents of packet loss (an incident of packet loss is a period where packets are lost, irrespective of the actual number of lost packets.)

            • Source to Destination Loss Period Length Min/Max: 1/1—indicates that all packets lost in this direction are isolated; there are no instances of multiple lost packets back-to-back.

            • Source to Destination Inter Loss Period Length Min/Max: 1/546—indicates that the minimum gap between lost packets is 1, and the maximum gap between successive packet losses is 546 successfully sent packets.

            Configuration Examples for IP SLAs UDP Jitter Operations

            Example: Configuring a UDP Jitter Operation

            In the following example, two operations are configured as UDP jitter operations, with operation 2 starting five seconds after the first operation. Both operations will run indefinitely.

            configure terminal
 ip sla 1
  udp-jitter 192.0.2.115 65051 num-packets 20
  request-data-size 160
  tos 128
  frequency 30
 ip sla schedule 1 start-time after 00:05:00
 ip sla 2
  udp-jitter 192.0.2.115 65052 num-packets 20 interval 10
  request-data-size 20
  tos 64
  frequency 30
 ip sla schedule 2 start-time after 00:05:05

            Enter the following command on the target (destination) device to temporarily enable the IP SLAs responder functionality on a Cisco device in response to control messages from the source device.

            ip sla responder
