Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Avg_delay |
Indicates the average delay between transmission of packet to a target and receipt of the response to the packet at the source. |
sec |
An increase in network latency could result from misconfiguration of the router(s) along the path, network congestion, retransmissions at the network, etc.
|
| Pkt_loss_pct |
Indicates the percentage of packets lost during
transmission from source to target and back.
|
% |
Packet loss is often caused by network buffer overflows at a network router or by packet corruptions over the network. The detailed diagnosis for this measure provides a listing of routers that are on the path from the external agent to target server, and the delays on each hop. This information can be used to diagnose the hop(s) that could be causing excessive packet loss/delays.
|
| Availability |
Indicates whether the network connection is
available or not.
|
% |
A value of 100 indicates that the system is connected. The value 0 indicates that the system is not connected.
Typically, the value 100 corresponds
to a Pkt_loss_pct of 0.
