egress
|
Outbound. Characterizing packets exiting a device.
|
|
ingress
|
Inbound. Characterizing packets entering a device.
|
|
jitter
|
Difference in relative transmit time between two consecutive
packets in a stream, which can cause quality degradation in some real-time
applications such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video.
|
|
probe
|
An action taken or an object used to learn something about the
state of the network. Real-time performance monitoring (RPM) uses
several types of requests to probe a network.
|
|
probe interval
|
Time, in seconds, between probe packets.
|
|
real-time performance monitoring (RPM)
|
Monitoring tool that measures the performance of a network between
two endpoints by collecting statistics on packet loss, round-trip
time, and jitter.
|
|
RPM target
|
Remote network endpoint, identified by an IP address or URL,
to which the device sends a real-time performance monitoring
(RPM) probe.
|
|
RPM test
|
A collection of real-time performance monitoring (RPM) probes
sent out at regular intervals.
|
|
test interval
|
Time, in seconds, between RPM tests.
