Jitter Metrics: 

Jitter Metrics Message Jitter… starts with the abstraction of a communicated message… a sequence of adjacent data packets transferred in a given direction, concluded by the transfer of one or more adjacent data packets in the other direction. measures the inter-packet gaps only for data packets within messages. It does not measure the gaps between the messages themselves.

Message Jitter…: 

Message Jitter… example, an application that is downloading a series of large graphics. The client first requests a graphic file download from the server. The server then sends the graphic to the client. The client then requests the next graphic, and so on. Within each download, the observed inter-packet gaps are of interest. The inter-packet gap from the last packet of one download and the first packet of the next is of less interest These later gaps are excluded.

Jitter Metrics: 

Jitter Metrics Stream Jitter… does not include message considerations. Rather, measures the inter-packet gaps for all packets of the data stream for a given transfer direction.

Stream Jitter…: 

Stream Jitter… example is where an H.323 Voice-over-IP (VoIP) data-stream is transferring an audio data-stream over RTP from one end-point to another. In this case, all inter-packets gaps observed would be of interest.

Response Metrics: 

Response Metrics Exchange Responses… starts with the abstraction of a communicated exchange-message. An exchange-message is considered to start with a series of adjacent data packets transferred in a given direction (exchange message request). The end of such a message is defined to be the transfer of one or more adjacent data packets in the other direction (exchange message response). Matters of sequencing or retransmission (duplicate) detection are excluded from consideration in the analysis of data packets when observing exchange-message related packets.

TPM MIB – Changes in 01: 

TPM MIB – Changes in 01 Basic edits for minor corrections Removal of some ‘statistics’ for complete ‘reports’ Usage of xxxClientID in place of xxxClientServerAddress

APM – Overall Framework: 

APM – Overall Framework Micro-flow Flow

TPM - Basic Statistics: 

TPM - Basic Statistics number of events (e.g., number of data packets) smallest value seen (e.g., smallest amount of data seen) largest value seen (e.g., largest amount of data seen) sum of all values (e.g., total amount of data) sum of the squares of each value sum of each sequence index (1, 2, …, n) times its corresponding value sum of the squares of each sequence index (1, 2, …, n) times its corresponding value

TPM MIB - Framework: 

TPM MIB - Framework APM MIB used to determine application flows/aggregations to report micro-flows in TPM report table. TPM Controls used to create performance metric reports on flows/aggregations. All reports are in the form of statistics Drill-down for performance anomalies
