FrameSaver SLM Feature Set
A FrameSaver SLV unit with the advanced SLM feature set provides the following
features in addition to those provided with the basic set:
TruePut
™
Technology.
Using Frame Delivery Ratios (FDR) and Data
Delivery Ratios (DDR), throughput (within and above CIR, as well as between
CIR and EIR, and above EIR) can be measured precisely, eliminating
inaccuracies due to averaging.
Intelligent Service Level Verification.
Provides accurate throughput, latency,
and availability measurements to determine network performance and
whether service level agreements (SLAs) are being met, along with SLA
reporting.
RMON Alarms and Configurable Alarm Thresholds.
Provides the ability to
change SLA parameter and RMON alarm thresholds via the OpenLane
system to correct them in real-time, before the SLA is violated.
Multiplexed Customer PVCs.
Provides a method of multiplexing customer
management data and user data with network management data
transparently over a single PVC when FrameSaver devices are at each end of
the circuit.
FTP User History Poller.
Provides a bulk collector using FTP through the
OpenLane system that generates a file for data at the time that data is
uploaded using FTP.
Network User History Synchronization.
Allows correlation of RMON2 User
History statistics among all SLV devices in a network. Using a central clock,
called the network reference time, all SLV device user history statistics are
synchronized across the network, further enhancing the accuracy of
OpenLane SLV reports.
RMON-Based User History Statistics Gathering.
Provides everything
needed to monitor network service levels, plus throughput with accurate data
delivery, network latency, and LMI and PVC availability. Continuous roundtrip
latency testing and reporting, as well as CIR to transmitted and received data
performance statistics, are included.
In addition, port bursting statistics are kept for all frame relay links for accurate
calculation of utilization.
