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. |
Secs |
An
increase in network latency could result from misconfiguration of the
router(s) along the path, network congestion, retransmissions at the
network, etc. The detailed diagnosis capability, if enabled, lists the
hop-by-hop connectivity and delay. |
| Min_delay |
The
minimum time between transmission of a packet and receipt of the
response back. |
Secs |
A
significant increase in the minimum round-trip time is often a sure
sign of network congestion. |
| Pkt_loss_pct |
Indicates
the percentage of packets lost during transmission from source to
target and back. |
Percent |
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 the
availability of the network connection |
Percent |
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. |
