46 Avaya VoIP Monitoring Manager Release 3.1 Configuration
The initial TTL value is set, usually by a system default, in a field of the IP
packet header with a value in the range 0 to 255. The original idea of TTL was
that it would specify a certain time span in seconds that, when exhausted,
would cause the packet to be discarded.
Since each router is required to subtract at least one count from the TTL field,
the count usually indicates the number of router hops the packet has
remaining before it must be discarded. Each router that receives a packet
subtracts one from the count in the TTL field. When the count reaches zero,
the router detecting it discards the packet and sends an Internet Control
Message Protocol (ICMP) message back to the originating host.
TOOL The TOOL value is the name and version of the application generating the
stream, e.g., Avaya VoIP Engine v.123. This information may be useful for
diagnosis. The TOOL value should remain constant for the duration of the
session.
Trace Route Table The Trace Route table contains information about the route in the network that
the RTP packets traverse between the two endpoints of the call. It will display
in Microsoft Excel below the Time-varying Data table.
Trap or Alarm A Trap or Alarm is a message sent by a Windows SNMP Agent to a Trap
Manager, console, or terminal to indicate the occurrence of a significant event,
such as a specifically defined condition or a threshold that was reached. It is
also referred to as an Alarm. The Trap Manager is generally configured to be
the Gateway Alarm Manager (GAM) or Network Alarm Manager (NAM) but
any Trap Manager application can be used with the Avaya VoIP Monitoring
Manager.
V
VoIP or Voice over
Internet Protocol
VoIP is an acronym for Voice over Internet Protocol. This is the technology
standard that allows Internet telephony. It provides the capability for live voice
communication over the Internet so that you can talk using the multimedia
capabilities of your computer, in the same way you would talk using a
telephone.
W
Windows SNMP
Agent
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent is the Windows
SNMP service that runs on your computer. SNMP is a protocol for
communications between remote network management stations and
managed network elements (such as Avaya devices).
The VoIP Monitoring Manager Server needs the Windows SNMP Agent
installed as it enables the RTCP Monitor to collect and publish the data. The
Windows SNMP service is provided with the Windows 2000 CD but is not
installed by default. You will be prompted during the VoIP Monitoring Manager
install to install it from the Windows 2000 CD.
