Observer Infrastructure - Leverage IP, SLA & NBAR

Manage IT Infrastructure & Device Performance

Cisco's IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLA) and Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) provide network-wide views of application and service delivery and performance. Use these technologies to improve traffic visibility on the network without deploying a single network probe.

• Track performance between IP SLA-enabled devices and other remote devices
• Monitor common IP SLA operations (for example, UDP echo, IPv6 traffic, TCP connect time, DNS lookups, and HTTP get and response)
• Obtain detailed application metrics from Cisco routers and switches using NBAR
• Actively simulate VoIP calls between IP SLA-enabled devices
