Hi there:)

Cisco IP SLA has a feature Path-jitter.

There is no Average two way jitter value but I can get it via SNMP.

SNMP OID is:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.5.2.1.46 - rttMonLatestJitterOperAvgJitter
Avg of Positive and Negative Jitter in SD & DS direction

How does this value calculate?
What formula has been used in IOS for this calculation?

I've tried to calculate this value by myself with the method from
RFC 3550 and I get different result than IOS gets me via
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.5.2.1.46 OID.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

This is calculated using the following formula:

rttMonLatestJitterOperAvgJitter = ceil(jitterSum / jitterNum)

Where:

jitterSum = sumOfPositiveDS + sumOfNegativeDS + sumOfPositiveSD + sumOfNegativeSD

jitterNum = "Number of DS jitter samples" + "Number of SD jitter samples"

Thank you Joseph!

You are the best:)

What if I need to get Jitter values from my network but I am not able to use IP SLA features. Is there a recommended way to calculate it from ping tests?

 

Thanks!
