Quality of Service Monitoring
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) Several screen changes allow you to monitor Quality of Service
(QoS) on an S8300 Media Server with a G700 configuration. The media gateway can send data to a
real-time control protocol (RTCP) server, which in turn monitors the network region's performance.
Screens include:
•
An RTCP Monitor Server section on the IP-Options System Parameters screen allows you
to enter a single default IP address, server port, and RTCP report period that can be utilized by all
administered network regions. This means you do not have to re-enter the IP address each time
you access the ip-network-region screen.
•
The IP Network Region screen also must be administered for QoS monitoring (see
Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Communication Manager for details). If the
RTCP Enabled field is left at default ("y"), then be sure to set a valid IP address in the
IP-Options System Parameters screen. For situations that require customization, this screen is
administered on a per IP network regional basis. Items to customize include:
•
Enabling or disabling of RTCP monitoring
•
Modifications to the report flow rate
•
Changes to the server IP address and server port
•
The list ip-network-region qos and list ip-network-region monitor commands list quality
of service and monitor server parameters from the IP Network Region screen as follows:
•
qos displays VoIP media and call control (and their 802.1p priority values), BBE
DiffServ PHB values, RSVP profile and refresh rate.
•
monitor displays RTCP monitor server IP address, port number, report flowrate, codec
set, and UDP port range parameters.
Media Gateway serviceability commands
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) Additional commands related to media gateways appear in
Maintenance for the Avaya G700 Media Gateway controlled by an Avaya S8300 Media Server or an
Avaya S8700 Media Server. These include:
•
The status media-gateways command provides an alarm summary, busyout summary, and
link summary of all configured media gateways.
•
Several commands have been modified to support the media gateway port identification format
described in
