	One Way Measurement	Cisco IOS IP SLAs uses active traffic monitoring—the generation of traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner—for measuring network performance.	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_overview.html
	Path Jitter Operation	The Cisco IOS IP SLAs Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) path jitter operation allows you to measure hop-by-hop jitter (inter-packet delay variance).	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_icmp_pathjitter.html
	Reaction Threshold Monitoring	Cisco IOS IP SLAs proactive threshold monitoring capability allows you to configure an IP SLAs operation to react to certain measured network conditions.	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_threshold_mon.html
	Scheduler	Cisco IP SLAs supports a variety of scheduling options, such as scheduling a single Cisco IOS IP SLAs operation or a group of operations at one time.	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_overview.html
	SNMP Support	Cisco IOS IP SLAs can send SNMP traps that are triggered by specified events.	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_overview.html
	TCP Connect Operation	The Cisco IOS IP SLAs Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connect operation allows you to measure the network response time taken to perform a TCP Connect operation between a Cisco device and other devices using IP.	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_tcp.html
Cisco IOS XE 3.0.1SG	UDP Echo Operation	The Cisco IOS IP SLAs User Datagram Protocol (UDP) echo operation allows you to measure end-to-end network response time between a Cisco device and other devices using IP	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_udp_echo.html
	UDP Jitter Operation	The Cisco IOS IP SLAs User Datagram Protocol (UDP) jitter operation allows you to measure round-trip delay, one-way delay, one-way jitter, one-way packet loss, and connectivity in networks that carry UDP traffic.	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_udp_jitter.html
	Random Scheduler	The IP SLAs Random Scheduler feature provides the capability to schedule multiple IP SLAs operations to begin at random intervals uniformly distributed over a specified duration of time and to restart at uniformly distributed random frequencies within a specified frequency range.	http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipsla/configuration/guide/sla_multi_scheduler.html
