QOS Alarm Requirements

An RTCP monitor using the local SNMP agent generates traps to a pre-administered trap collector. The following alarms are generated:

• The voip-callqos alarm is generated if a single session exceeds configured QOS levels. It can generate a warning or an SNMP trap. Warnings are used for less severe problems. They can be accumulated internally within Avaya^TM VoIP Monitoring Manager for use by the alarms defined below.
• The voip-systemqos alarm is generated if the number of voip-callqos warnings from all terminals exceeds a configured count over a given period (e.g. 100 alarms over 24 hours). The alarm causes a SNMP trap to be sent.
• The voip-terminalqos alarm is like the voip-systemqos alarm except it applies to a single terminal. If any one terminal generates a number of voip-callqos warnings that exceed a threshold then the alarm is generated.
