egress
|
Outbound. Characterizing packets exiting a Services Router.
|
|
ingress
|
Inbound. Characterizing packets entering a Services Router.
|
|
jitter
|
Variation in the rate at which packets in a stream are received, which
can cause quality degradation in some real-time applications such as voice
over IP (VoIP) and video.
|
|
probe
|
An action taken or an object used to learn something about the state
of the network. Real-time performance monitoring (RPM) uses several types
of requests to probe a network.
|
|
probe interval
|
Time, in seconds, between probe packets.
|
|
real-time performance monitoring (RPM)
|
Monitoring tool that measures the performance of a network between two
endpoints by collecting statistics on packet loss, round-trip time, and jitter.
|
|
RPM target
|
Remote network endpoint, identified by an IP address or URL, to which
the Services Router sends a real-time performance monitoring (RPM) probe.
|
|
RPM test
|
A collection of real-time performance monitoring (RPM) probes sent out
at regular intervals.
|
|
test interval
|
Time, in seconds, between RPM tests.
