Performance metrics sensors Flashcards
What are device/chassis performance metrics?
Device/chassis performance metrics monitor the overall health and status of networking hardware, including the physical condition and operational status.
Why is temperature monitoring important in networking devices?
Temperature monitoring ensures that devices operate within safe temperature ranges to prevent overheating, which can lead to hardware failure and network downtime.
What does CPU usage indicate in performance metrics?
CPU usage measures the percentage of the CPU’s capacity being used. High CPU usage can indicate that a device is under heavy load and may affect its performance.
Why is monitoring memory important in network devices?
Monitoring memory usage helps ensure that there is enough available memory for processing network traffic and running applications. Insufficient memory can lead to slow performance and crashes.
What are network metrics?
Network metrics include various measurements that assess the performance and reliability of network connections, such as bandwidth, latency, and jitter.
What is bandwidth in network metrics?
Bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a network connection, typically measured in Mbps or Gbps.
What is latency in network metrics?
Latency is the time it takes for data to travel from the source to the destination, measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower latency indicates faster data transmission.
What is jitter in network metrics?
Jitter is the variation in the time it takes for data packets to travel from source to destination. High jitter can cause issues with real-time applications like VoIP and video conferencing.
