Generally speaking, we want to get
to where we're going in the quickest amount of time.
And if we knew ahead of time that there was a traffic
gym or a problem with a certain path,
we would actually probably take a different path.
It's one of the benefits of using modern day navigation
systems.
Well, if we had something like that for the network that
could look beyond the local router
and look at path information and verify that hey,
this path is good.
Wouldn't we use it?
Well, the answer is yes we would and yes we have.
It's called an IP SLA.
So in this set of videos, I'd like
to share with you some of the benefits of SLAs WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
to share with you some of the benefits of SLAs
and how we can use them to help our network converge faster
when there's a problem and provide some hands-on practice
to give you a chance to both configure and verify IP SLAs
and tracking as well.
So without further ado, I'll see you in the next video
as we take a look at the overview of IP SLAs.
