Top N Worst Emulated Services report

Top N Worst Emulated Services report overview

The Top N Worst Emulated Services report is a tabular report that lists the emulated services (Cpipe) with the worst jitter buffer asymmetry.

Jitter buffer asymmetry is the difference in the jitter buffer depth at the two SAP endpoints at a moment in time (statistics collection interval). The jitter buffer asymmetry index is a value in the 0 to 100 range where 100 is the theoretical worst jitter buffer asymmetry (maximum jitter buffer asymmetry) for each interval in the report range. The formula is:

sum (asymmetry for each interval in the range) / (# intervals * max jitter buffer depth) * 100

Jitter buffer asymmetry persistence is a value in the 0 to 100 range, where 100 is the theoretical worst persistence value. This value indicates how consistently the asymmetry is at an unacceptable level. A single spike of asymmetry is typically less of a concern than a persistent condition of asymmetry. The formula is:

Count (# intervals asymmetry >= 2) / # intervals * 100

The table is sorted in descending order with the asymmetry index first, then asymmetry persistence.

Limitations

When the report is exported to the RTF file type, the report may not export or display properly.

Prerequisites

The following table describes the aggregation rules that must be enabled and the accounting policies that must be configured for the NEs on which statistics are to be collected; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for information about configuring an accounting policy. To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?.

Use cases

Synchronization management—Monitoring of services and their health in terms of network synchronization, with identification of services needing further investigation or maintenance based on three jitter buffer asymmetry KPIs.
