Service Assurance Agent Commands - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Cli Reference Manual

47 Service Assurance Agent
Service Assurance Agent (SAA) enables customers to assure new business-critical applications, as well as
services that utilize data, voice, and video.
With Service Assurance Agents, users can verify service guarantees, increase network reliability by vali-
dating network performance, proactively identify network issues, and increase return on investment (ROI)
by easing the deployment of new services. Service Assurance Agent uses active monitoring to generate
traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner, thus enabling the measurement of network perfor-
mance and health.
IP SAAs enhance the service level monitoring to become IP application-aware by measuring both end-to-
end and at the IP layer. IP SAA would allow performance measurement against any IP addresses in the
network (switch, server, pc). ETH-LB/DMM can be used to measure delay and jitter by sending out
frames with DM information to the peer MEP and receiving frames with DM information from the peer
MEP.
MIB information for the SAA commands is as follows:
