IP SLAs - Analyzing IP Service Levels Using the LSP Health Monitor

Overview The IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Label Switched Path (LSP) Health Monitor feature provides the capability to proactively monitor Layer 3 MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). This feature is useful for determining network availability or testing network connectivity between Provider Edge (PE) routers in an MPLS VPN. Once configured, the LSP Health Monitor will automatically create and delete IP SLAs LSP ping or LSP traceroute operations based on network topology.
