H.323 Protocol Performance

This section describes the different statistics you can access for monitoring H.323 protocol performance.

Viewing the H.323 Performance Statistics

Display the H.323 performance statistics by using the show h323d command. The main show h323d command executed without arguments indicates the date and time the current period began and displays session statistics, status statistics, and stack statistics for functioning H.323 processes.

For example:

acmepacket# show h323d
18:22:24-84

The following table lists the session statistics along with a brief description.

Statistic Description
Incoming Calls Number of H.323 calls coming into the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.
Outgoing Calls Number of H.323 calls going out of the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.
Connected Calls Number of H.323 calls that are currently connected via the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.
Incoming Channels Number of incoming channels that have been established on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.
Outgoing Channels Number of outgoing channels that have been established on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.
Contexts Number of contexts (i.e., the number of calls traversing the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller) that have been established on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.

About Status Statistics

The following table lists the current H.323 process status statistics along with a brief description:

Statistic Description
Queued Messages Number of messages queued.
TPKT Channels Number of Transport Packet (TPKT) channels open(ed).
UDP Channels Number of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) channels open(ed).

Note:

The show h323d status command shows the same information available when the show h323d command is executed without any arguments.

About Stack Statistics

The stack statistics provide a summary of information about the H.323 stacks configured on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller via the h323 stack. This information includes the following facts about each stack: its name, whether or not it is enabled, its type, its mode (either Gateway or Gatekeeper), and whether or not it is registered with a Gatekeeper.

Viewing Current Configuration

Display statistics for the H.323 configuration currently running on the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller by using the show h323d config command. Only information about the main configuration element is shown, not for any subelements.

Viewing Stack Information

You can view statistics about the configured H.323 stacks.

Viewing a List of Stacks

Display the list of H.323 stacks (for example, configured instances of the h323 stack) that are currently configured by using the show h323d stacklist command.

ConEx Number of times that the constraints established in the constraints fields of the session-agent element have been exceeded.
Latency
Avg Average latency for packets traveling to and from each session agent listed in the Session Agent column of this command’s output.
Max Maximum latency for packets traveling to and from each session agent listed in the Session Agent column of this command’s output.
Max Burst Total number of session invitations sent to or received from the session agent within the amount of time configured in the burst-rate-window field of the session-agent element.

Viewing Session Agent by Hostname

The show h323d agentconfig <hostname> command displays detailed information about the configured session agent specified by its hostname in the <hostname> argument.

When displaying individual H.323 session agent configurations, remember that H.323 does not support DNS and therefore the hostname field values for H.323 session agents are IPv4 addresses.

Viewing Session Agent Group Stats

You can view statistics for session agent groups.

Listing Session Agent Groups

Display a list of the H.323 session agent groups by using the show h323d grouplist command.

ORACLE# show h323d grouplist
H323-Session Agent Group List
        group-name                     sag1
ORACLE#

Viewing Session Agent Group Stats

Display session information for the session agent groups by using the show h323d groupstats command. Session information is compiled by totalling the session agent statistics for all session agents that make up a particular session agent group.

While the show h323d groupstats command accesses the subcommands that are described in this section, the main show h323d groupstats command (when executed without arguments) displays a list of all session agent groups for the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller.

All of the categories for these statistics are the same as those used in the displays produced by the show h323d agent command.

ORACLE# show h323d groupstats

Viewing Session Agent Details

You can list and show the statistics for the session agents that make up the session agent groups that are being reported. The -v (meaning verbose) executed with this command must be included to provide this level of detail.

ORACLE# show h323d groups -v
SAG:              SGTest

Viewing Specific Session Group Statistics

Display statistics for the designated session agent group by using the show h323d groups <group name> command with the name of a specific session agent group.

ORACLE# show h323d groups testgroup
16:35:18-18
          ---- Inbound ---- --- Outbound ---- -Latency-  Max

testgroup      0  0.0     0      0  0.0     0 0.0   0.0  0
ORACLE# 

If this command is carried out, but the name of an existing session agent group is not available, the system will display a messaging saying that the group statistics are not available.

ORACLE# show h323d groups test

ORACLE# 

Viewing all Configurations

Display the configuration for all configured H.323 session agent groups by using the show h323d groupconfig command.
