silver peak - path conditioning - part 1

path condition mitigate the effect of loss & delay;

BW, latency & loss all have an impact on effective throughput;

you can calculate throughput on silver peak website;

formula is :- Avg. throughput = (MSS/RTT)*(1.2/p^0.5)
mss= packet size; RTT = round trip time; p= packet loss;

PROBLEM:- data loss & packet out of order

SYMPTOMS:- video quality is poor with pixilation & halts; VOIP calls suffer poor quality(drop & echo)

these are commonly seen on MPLS & internet based ip vpn links

SOLUTION:- path conditioning
