In 5.0, In-line Flow Performance Monitoring was added to the Session Smart Router:

I95-32558 In-line Flow Performance Monitoring: Inline performance metrics have been enhanced to achieve a finer granularity than what is currently available via BFD. Statistics are now collected per path, traffic class, and protocol (TCP or UDP) level. Sessions can be forwarded using more granular SLA metrics.

How does it work and how do I turn it on?

Inline Flow Performance Monitoring complements BFD in measuring "peer paths" between two SSR devices. It does it by through the inclusion of a small amount of metadata by the initiating router to a sample of packets (how often the sampling occurs is configurable), which is deciphered and reported back by the recipient router. The advantage of FPM data is that it's organized by traffic-class (high/medium/low/best-effort). This gives more granular data on the performance of a link -- not just through synthetic traffic (BFD) but by piggybacking onto actual user traffic.

The configuration is very simple:

admin@labsystem1.fiedler# show config running authority performance-monitoring-profile verbose wan-assurance-monitoring-profile

config

    authority

        performance-monitoring-profile  wan-assurance-monitoring-profile
            name               wan-assurance-monitoring-profile
            marking-count      100
            interval-duration  10000
            monitor-only       true
        exit
    exit
exit

The configurable fields here govern how many packets (marking-count) are marked during a given time window (interval-duration).

Once you've had it running for a while, you can see the results using the command show stats performance-monitoring:

admin@labsystem1.fiedler# show stats performance-monitoring router all force

Hi,
I am running 5.2.2 and I am not seeing any output data. I have

    authority

You also need to ensure that the profile is applied to your peer paths. This is generally configured through router > node > device-interface > network-interface > neighborhood. Please apply the profile to both sides of the SVR peer path.

Hi,
I am running 5.2.2 and I am not seeing any output data. I have

But, even after several hours and sessions coming and going, I am not seeing any data...

This is great @peetee thank you!

Can I use this information to prefer a path like I can with the BFD measurement? For example, choose my broadband path based on the MOS as determined by the FPM?

Inline Flow Performance Monitoring complements BFD in measuring "peer paths" between two SSR devices. It does it by through the inclusion of a small amount of metadata by the initiating router to a sample of packets (how often the sampling occurs is configurable), which is deciphered and reported back by the recipient router. The advantage of FPM data is that it's organized by traffic-class (high/medium/low/best-effort). This gives more granular data on the performance of a link -- not just through synthetic traffic (BFD) but by piggybacking onto actual user traffic.

The configuration is very simple:

admin@labsystem1.fiedler# show config running authority performance-monitoring-profile verbose wan-assurance-monitoring-profileconfig    authority        performance-monitoring-profile  wan-assurance-monitoring-profile            name               wan-assurance-monitoring-profile            marking-count      100            interval-duration  10000            monitor-only       true        exit    exitexit

The configurable fields here govern how many packets (marking-count) are marked during a given time window (interval-duration).

Once you've had it running for a while, you can see the results using the command show stats performance-monitoring:

Inline Flow Performance Monitoring complements BFD in measuring "peer paths" between two SSR devices. It does it by through the inclusion of a small amount of metadata by the initiating router to a sample of packets (how often the sampling occurs is configurable), which is deciphered and reported back by the recipient router. The advantage of FPM data is that it's organized by traffic-class (high/medium/low/best-effort). This gives more granular data on the performance of a link -- not just through synthetic traffic (BFD) but by piggybacking onto actual user traffic.

The configuration is very simple:

admin@labsystem1.fiedler# show config running authority performance-monitoring-profile verbose wan-assurance-monitoring-profileconfig    authority        performance-monitoring-profile  wan-assurance-monitoring-profile            name               wan-assurance-monitoring-profile            marking-count      100            interval-duration  10000            monitor-only       true        exit    exitexit

The configurable fields here govern how many packets (marking-count) are marked during a given time window (interval-duration).

Once you've had it running for a while, you can see the results using the command show stats performance-monitoring:

Subject: Inline Flow Performance Monitoring

In 5.0, In-line Flow Performance Monitoring was added to the Session Smart Router:

I95-32558 In-line Flow Performance Monitoring: Inline performance metrics have been enhanced to achieve a finer granularity than what is currently available via BFD. Statistics are now collected per path, traffic class, and protocol (TCP or UDP) level. Sessions can be forwarded using more granular SLA metrics.

How does it work and how do I turn it on?
