Description: Monitors Waystream AB remote performance measurement statistics for link quality and latency assessment.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is WAYSTREAM-RPM-MIB?

WAYSTREAM-RPM-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Waystream AB for the Realtime Performance Monitoring (RPM) function on its Access/Aggregation Service Routers (ASRs), used to assess the quality of IPTV/RTP video streams delivered to end customers. It exposes per-RTP-flow statistics keyed by source/destination address and port, along with configurable monitoring thresholds and measurement periods. Its monitoring focus is on real-time traffic/performance quality rather than device hardware: it tracks stream bitrate, flow age, byte counts, and specific quality-impacting anomalies such as unknown RTP version, IP fragmentation, and sequence errors, letting an ISP detect IPTV stream degradation before customers notice. It is a self-contained vendor MIB for a proprietary RPM feature rather than one built directly on an IETF RTP/IPTV standard, though it operates on standard RTP flows. It is deployed by network operators/ISPs on Waystream ASR routers in the access/aggregation layer delivering IPTV service to subscribers. Engineers can download the WAYSTREAM-RPM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WAYSTREAM-RPM-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Waystream AB Access/Aggregation Service Router (ASR)

Monitoring Examples

Walking wsRpmGrpRtpTable (wsRpmGrpRtpEntry, keyed by wsRpmGrpRtpSrcAddr/wsRpmGrpRtpDestAddr and wsRpmGrpRtpSrcPort/wsRpmGrpRtpDestPort) lets an operator see wsRpmGrpRtpBps (bitrate) and wsRpmGrpRtpBytes for a specific IPTV stream, spotting a flow whose bitrate has dropped below expected. wsRpmGrpRtpSeqErrors rising indicates packet loss or reordering affecting picture quality, while a nonzero wsRpmGrpRtpIpFragments or wsRpmGrpRtpUnknownVersion count flags malformed or non-conformant RTP traffic that could disrupt playback. wsRpmThresholdConfig and wsRpmPeriodConfig let the admin tune alerting thresholds and measurement intervals for these per-flow quality metrics.

What Can Be Monitored

  • RTP stream bitrate
  • flow age/duration
  • byte count per stream
  • sequence errors
  • IP fragmentation count
  • RTP version anomalies

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using wsRpmGrpRtpBytes OID:

Select a Waystream AB Access/Aggregation Service Router (ASR) (per-RTP-flow IPTV quality/anomaly status) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type wsRpmGrpRtpBytes into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of bytes received from multicast group. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
