Functional
composition of the IP Qiality Monitor system could be seen here.
There
are two main elements: IQMA (Agents) and IQMM (Managers).
Agents:
There are special network appliances used for quality measuremets, which are
located in the main network nodes. They are small computers running IQMA
software, and are called probes or agents. Agents automatically (on demand
or on schedule) run tests between them (agents) and measure delivery parameters
losses, delay (RTT), variation (jitter) and bandwidth. Gathered data is than
pre-processed, stored in text files and delivered to higher level –
Manager.
IQM Manager is the brain of IQM system, providing agent management, data
processing and analysis, user interface. IQMM provides:
- IQMA
agents management:
- Policy
configuration
- Threshold
management
- Test
by schedule configuration
- Test
by demand configuration
- IQMM
(lower level managers) management for distributed systems
- Automated
processing of acquired data:
- Export
of data to SQL DB
- Data
reduction and pre-processing for storage
- Data
storage
- Data
analysis and consistency checks
- Data
violation signalization
- Stats
graphing and user interface
