IP SLA 'path-jitter'

hi,

i'm trying to monitor an IPSec VPN tunnel for latency, jitter and packet loss.

udp-jitter using g729a codec doesn't seem to work and i don't see the option for 'icmp-jitter' in an ASR1K. is this the same as 'path-jitter' option?

also what's the difference between a positive and negative jitter? what field or value should i refer to when monitoring jitter in IP SLA?

 

ASR1K(config)#ip sla 101
ASR1K((config-ip-sla)# icmp-jitter ?
% Unrecognized command

 

ASR1K((config-ip-sla)#icmp ?
Hostname or A.B.C.D Destination IP address or hostname, broadcast disallowed

The UDP-jitter probe should work, did you have the responder setup correctly on the target-end device and check that it was receiving the UDP-probe packets (and make sure the time is sync'd between the two endpoints using NTP to avoid spurious data for RTT).

For a description of the stats, checkout the link below but in summary it's whether a received probe response had a higher or lower RTT than the previous probe.

managed to fix 'udp-jitter'. you'll need to add the 'ip sla resonder' just on the remote router.
