IPSLA-ICMP Jitter-Packet loss count

Hi,

I wanted to monitor the packet loss in my link using IP SLA. So i configured ipsla jitter and started monitoring it. When i analyze the output i found that ip sla statictics shows heavy drop in my link, but when i ping from the router no drop is observed. Why there is such difference in the out put. I read that normal ping and icmp jitter uses different icmp types messages but now i am confused whether my link proper or not. Which data i should belive.

Here is my config and statistics:

ip sla 2166

icmp-jitter 10.70.194.137 num-packets 100

frequency 300

ip sla schedule 2166 life forever start-time now

Hello mate !

For how long you left the IP sla running ? 24 hours ?

I would disable session time out in your router, set the IP Sla running for 60 minutes for example and in the meantime i would leave a ping running too with high repetition in the background.

I saw you only had 8 pkt loss....   we need two "tools" running for a good comparison, tried what i proposed and let me know.

cheers

Hi,

Thx for the suggestion,

Frequency is configred as 300 sec.so operation will run for evey five min. I was pinging with 10000 packets manually but i never found a drop. But for every opeartion of IPSLA gives me atleast 5 to 20 drops.

  Dear All,

i have also the similar issue,is the packet loss measurement is number of packet or its the avrage percentage value?
