Trouble-Shooting
How much easier would it be to fix an inter-party
performance or connectivity problem if both sides
had access to a common set of advanced data
capture and trouble-shooting analytics? As well as
delivering end-to-end visibility to both parties,
inter-party latency management can also provide
access to equivalent sets of detailed data from
the opposite sides of a connection, making it
much easier for staff working together on each
side to see where a problem is occurring and how
it can be resolved.

Key benefits of inter-party latency management.
• Microsecond precision latency measurement using patented auto-clock
synchronization algorithms suitable for multi-party environments where
it is challenging to have common external clock synchronization.
• F
lexible lightweight method for exchanging latency and loss
performance data over existing network infrastructure.
• P
olicy-based security rules for safe sharing of performance data between
one or many inter-connected parties.
• C
entralized and real-time configurable view of end-to-end performance
for all peering parties.
• V
erify SLA compliance of external services and infrastructure against
latency and loss objectives for every packet or message.
• C
ommon language and rules for ‘apples-to-apples’ specification and
comparison of performance across all parties.
• P
olicy driven alarming automatically detects SLA violations along
end-to-end market data and execution path.
• C
ommon performance data set including packet captures with
embedded per-packet end-to-end latency data.
• Pe
ering parties have access to a common set of advanced tools and
analytics facilitating a common interpretation of diagnostic findings.
