CiscoWorks Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) is a troubleshooting application that gauges network response time and availability. It allows network administrators to proactively evaluate end-to-end network performance problems and to locate and diagnose congestion and latency problems utilizing real time and historical statistics. CiscoWorks IPM is available as a component within the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS).
IPM features include:
- Continuous response time and latency monitoring between network device pairs
- Monitoring and measuring of jitter to optimize IP communications
- Cisco IP Service Level Agreement technology available in most Cisco IOS devices
- Flexible threshold crossing alerts
- Comprehensive reporting based on response time, availability and statistics
