Feature Information for OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3


OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

First Published: February 27, 2006
Last Updated: February 19, 2007

This document describes new and modified commands that provide enhanced OSPF traffic statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. The ability to collect and display more detailed traffic statistics increases high availability for the OSPF network by making the troubleshooting process more efficient.

New OSPF traffic statistics are collected and displayed to include the following information:

•OSPF Hello input queue and OSPF process queue status and statistics.

•Global OSPF traffic statistics.

•Per OSPF interface traffic statistics.

•Per OSPF process traffic statistics.

Finding Feature Information in This Module

Information About OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

The OSPF enhanced traffic statistics are enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Before displaying the OSPF Enhanced Traffic statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, you should understand the following concepts:

•Benefits of Checking OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

Benefits of Checking OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

The detailed OSPF traffic statistics are especially beneficial for troubleshooting the following types of OSPF instabilities:

•OSPF process queue status and statistical information can help the network administrator determine if an OSPF process can handle the amount of traffic sent to OSPF.

•OSPF packet header errors and LSA errors statistics keep a record of different errors found in received OSPF packets.

OSPF enhanced traffic control statistics also monitor the amount of traffic control exchanged between OSPF processes—an important consideration in network environments with slow links and frequent topology changes.

How to Display and Clear OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3

This section contains the following tasks:

•Displaying and Clearing OSPF Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2

This command was introduced.

12.0(28)S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(28)S.

12.4(6)T

Support for the OSPF Enhanced Traffic Statistics for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 was added for Cisco IOS Release 12.4(6)T.

12.2(33)SRB

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB.


Usage Guidelines

You can limit the displayed traffic statistics to those for a specific OSPF process by entering a value for the process-id argument, or you can limit output to traffic statistics for a specific interface associated with an OSPF process by entering values for the interface-type and interface-number arguments. To reset counters and clear statistics, use the clear ip ospf traffic command.

Table 1 describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 1 show ip ospf traffic Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

OSPF statistics

Traffic statistics accumulated for all OSPF processes running on the router. To ensure compatibility with the show ip traffic command, only checksum errors are displayed. Identifies the route map name.

OSPF queues statistic for process ID

Statistics specific to Cisco IOS software.

OSPF Hello queue

Statistics for the internal Cisco IOS queue between the packet switching code (process IP Input) and the OSPF hello process for all received OSPF packets.

OSPF Router queue

Statistics for the internal Cisco IOS queue between the OSPF hello process and the OSPF router for all received OSPF packets except OSPF hellos.

queue size

Actual size of the queue.

queue limit

Maximum allowed size of the queue.

queue max size

Maximum recorded size of the queue.

Interface statistics

Per-interface traffic statistics for all interfaces that belong to the specific OSPF process ID.

OSPF packets received/set

Number of OSPF packets received and sent on the interface, sorted by packet types.

OSPF header errors

Packet appears in this section if it was discarded because of an error in the header of an OSPF packet. The discarded packet is counted under the appropriate discard reason.

OSPF LSA errors

Packet appears in this section if it was discarded because of an error in the header of an OSPF link-state advertisement (LSA). The discarded packet is counted under the appropriate discard reason.

Summary traffic statistics for process ID

Summary traffic statistics accumulated for an OSPF process.

Note The OSPF process ID is a unique value assigned to the OSPF process in the configuration.

The value for the received errors is the sum of the OSPF header errors that are detected by the OSPF process, unlike the sum of the checksum errors that are listed in the global OSPF statistics.

The following is sample output from the show ip ospf traffic command that displays the detailed traffic information for OSPF packets received and sent on each OSPF interface and OSPF process.

Table 1 describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 2 show ipv6 ospf traffic Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

OSPFv3 statistics

Traffic statistics accumulated for all OSPF processes running on the router. To ensure compatibility with the show ip traffic command, only checksum errors are displayed. Identifies the route map name.

OSPFv3 queues statistic for process ID

Queue statistics specific to Cisco IOS software.

Hello queue

Statistics for the internal Cisco IOS queue between the packet switching code (process IP Input) and the OSPF hello process for all received OSPF packets.

Router queue

Statistics for the internal Cisco IOS queue between the OSPF hello process and the OSPF router for all received OSPF packets except OSPF hellos.

queue size

Actual size of the queue.

queue limit

Maximum allowed size of the queue.

queue max size

Maximum recorded size of the queue.

Interface statistics

Per-interface traffic statistics for all interfaces that belong to the specific OSPFv3 process ID.

OSPFv3 packets received/sent

Number of OSPFv3 packets received and sent on the interface, sorted by packet types.

OSPFv3 header errors

Packet appears in this section if it was discarded because of an error in the header of an OSPFv3 packet. The discarded packet is counted under the appropriate discard reason.

OSPFv3 LSA errors

Packet appears in this section if it was discarded because of an error in the header of an OSPF link-state advertisement (LSA). The discarded packet is counted under the appropriate discard reason.

Summary traffic statistics for process ID

Summary traffic statistics accumulated for an OSPFv3 process.

Note The OSPF process ID is a unique value assigned to the OSPFv3 process in the configuration.

The value for the received errors is the sum of the OSPFv3 header errors that are detected by the OSPFv3 process, unlike the sum of the checksum errors that are listed in the global OSPF statistics.
