ResponseWatch™ uses an embedded agent in the Cisco IOS called IP/SLA to gather network performance monitoring statistics. IP/SLA measures response times, network resource availability, application performance, and jitter, connect time, throughput and packet loss. Performances can be measured between Cisco device and any remote IP host. ResponseWatch collects this information, which is then presented simply and intuitively to users on a web front-end.

Product Benefits:-
1. LAN and WAN response time analysis without hardware probes - Offering intuitive response time Graphs and Reports without the complication and expense of hardware probes.
2. Completely Web-based - providing all authorised network users with access to information, which is relevant to them.
3. Integration With Crannog Netwatch™ - Netwatch™ complements ResponseWatch™ by providing a customisable unified screen displaying network health and link status and providing an "in context" view of ResponseWatch Graphs and reports.
4. Simple and Intuitive Graphical Format - which converts complex data into a clear view of Response Times , data can be accessed from a simple historical ResponseWatch graph.
5. Cost-effective Solution - unlike many other network management solutions which offer IP/SLA Response Time analysis, ResponseWatch™ will run as a stand alone tool and does not require an expensive initial investment.
6. Windows Based - ResponseWatch™ is ideal for deployment to all businesses requiring Response Time analysis, based upon an NT4/2000/XP platform, it is simple to administrate and does not require the UNIX skills often associated with high end IP/SLA analysers.
7. Speedy Installation Process - Following initial router or switch configuration, ResponseWatch™ can be installed in minutes.
8. Huge Potential Install Base - Cisco IP™ software supports IP/SLA analysis in almost all routers and chassis-based layer 3 switches. ResponseWatch™ effectively leverages the value of Cisco IOS™ and presents your sales team with a huge potential customer base.

It should be noted that IP/SLA probes must be specifically configured on each nominated Cisco router or switch. IP/SLA probes requires specific Cisco IOS versions and configurations on the device in question.
