Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series NAM uses the built-in instrumentation on the Wide-Area
Application Engine devices as additional data sources to gather flow data for optimized and passthrough traffic to
provide end-to-end application performance visibility in a Cisco WAAS environment. It measures and reports on
application response time, transaction time, bandwidth usage, and LAN/WAN data throughput among other
performance metrics. As a result, it can accurately quantify the impact of Cisco WAAS optimization as illustrated in
Figure 4.
Cisco NAM can also help to assess which applications would benefit the most from deploying WAN optimization and
application acceleration services. Analyzing the response time data over a period of time, the administrator can
identify the applications where the response time improvement can be significant with an increase in available
bandwidth. In addition, understanding the traffic mix provides a sense of how much compression could be achieved
with Cisco WAAS based on the type of applications in the mix.
Finally, Cisco NAM can be used to provide real-time visibility for ongoing optimization improvements, to monitor
optimized and nonoptimized applications, and to troubleshoot any performance degradation issues.
Superior Voice Quality Monitoring
Cisco NAM offers real-time voice quality monitoring using Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and key performance
indicators such as jitter and packet loss. It calculates MOS based on R-Factor (ITU-T G.107 Recommendations). It
also integrates with Cisco Unified Communications Management Suite to deliver an enterprisewide voice
management solution. Cisco NAM offers scalable and flexible deployment options complementing Cisco Unified
Communications Management Suite with networkwide visibility allowing enforcement of end-to-end service-level
objectives.
Figure 5 presents the last 60-minute view summarizing the voice quality for the active calls. The interface allows the
user to filter the data by quality grade (Poor, Fair, Good, and Excellent) and identify any anomalous behavior.
