New to Networking Volume 2 - Basics of IP SLA

Here's a paper to help you understand how IP SLA works and how to deploy the technology while minimizing the load on IP SLA devices and the network as a whole. IP SLA is a Cisco IOS feature included in almost all IOS so you might as well put it to work! IP SLA lets you -

  • Measure network services like FTP, DNS and DHCP from anywhere an IOS device exists.
  • Measure the quality of real-time services such as VoIP or Video.
  • Check the reachability of a specific URL from anywhere on your network
  • Manage WAN quality across all your WAN links 
  • Export the results to your NMS from the device RTTMON MIB

And it's just plain cool!!

I am so excited about this!  I have 25 sites, and bought IP SLA licenses for 50 nodes, so I'm going to test from the site edge to our NOC primary database, and from the site edge to our most critical Internet site - both tests should tell me everything I need to know about network performance, DNS response, and HTTP response!  WOOT!
