Is source-routing a requirement in using IPSLA?

Does VoIP Monitor / IPSLA require source-routing to be enabled on Cisco voice gateway devices? We have received an audit finding recommending we disable source-routing on our network. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

bump... Can anyone at SW answer this?

I have auditors nipping at me and I don't want to have to disable source-routing if it is going to break the ability for Voip Monitor to function.

VoIP monitor uses udp jitter for its IPSLA operation. From what I've read from cisco documentation it doesn't look like disabling source-routing would effect that.

I believe source-routing can be used by operations such as pathJitter and pathEcho which our IPSLA tools do not use.

Thanks! I feel much better now.

Are there any future enhancements using IPSLA operations on the roadmap that might require enabling source-routing?

Hi rgward,

Not at this time. I assume it would be bad for your environment?
