Hp Network Quality Analyzer

(NQA) analyzes network performance, services and service quality through

sending test packets, and provides you with network performance and service quality parameters

such as delay jitter, TCP connection delay, FTP connection delay and file transfer rate.

With the NQA test results, you can:

1) Know network performance in time and then take corresponding measures.

2) Diagnose and locate network faults.

At present, NQA supports ten test types: ICMP echo, DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP, UDP jitter, SNMP, TCP,UDP echo and DLSw.

In an NQA test, the client sends different types of test packets to the peer to detect the availability and

the response time of the peer, helping you know protocol availability and network performance based

on the test results.

If I want to just send ICMP from one device to another, continuously...

nqa client enable

nqa entry admin icmp

 type icmp-echo

  destination ip 68.191.191.242

  frequency 5000

  history-record enable

  history-record number 10

  probe count 10

  probe timeout 500

 nqa schedule admin icmp start-time now lifetime forever and here is what a display looks like:

[NQA]display nqa res admin icmp

  NQA entry(admin admin, tag icmp) test results:

    Destination IP address: 68.191.191.242

      Send operation times: 10             Receive response times: 10

      Min/Max/Average round trip time: 2/3/2

      Square-Sum of round trip time: 65

      Last succeeded probe time: 2007-01-02 05:11:02.7

    Extended results:

      Packet lost in test: 0%

      Failures due to timeout: 0

      Failures due to disconnect: 0

      Failures due to no connection: 0

      Failures due to sequence error: 0

      Failures due to internal error: 0

      Failures due to other errors: 0

      Packet(s) arrived late: 0

and using the history:

[NQA]dis nqa hist admin icmp

  NQA entry(admin admin, tag icmp) history record(s):
