Capturing Statistics

The primary objective of RTR is to collect statistics and information about network performance. You can control the number and type of statistics collected.

hops-of-statistics-kept

• Use to set the number of hops per path for which statistics are collected.
• When the number of hops reaches the specified number (that is, size), no additional statistical information about the path is stored.
• This option applies only to pathEcho entries.
• To turn off this feature, set the value to 0.
• Example

  host1(config-rtr)#hops-of-statistics-kept 5

• Use the no version to set the default, 16 hops.
• See hops-of-statistics-kept

max-response-failure

• Use to set the maximum number of consecutive failures to respond to a probe’s request.
• When the maximum number is reached, the test stops.
• This option applies only to pathEcho entries.
• To turn off this feature, set the value to 0.
• Example

  host1(config-rtr)#max-response-failure 2

• Use the no version to set the default, 5 consecutive failures.
• See max-response-failure
