Accurate Network Performance Monitoring Using Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreement

Overview Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreement (SLA), a network performance measurement feature in Cisco IOS Software, provides a scalable, cost-effective solution for service level monitoring. It eliminates the deployment of dedicated monitoring devices by including the "operation" capabilities in the routers. Cisco IOS IP SLA collects real-time network performance information, including response time, one-way latency, jitter, packet loss, and website download time. It also provides the mechanism to monitor performance for different class of traffic over the same connection.
