Hi Richard,

The configs that you've shown are for cisco's internal data generator.. Any router with a special IOS image (tgn) image can act as a
data generator and create data streams.

So you see the l2-src-addr and l2-dest-addr etc. As far as I know it is available only for testing purposes and not sold
commercially.

Thanks
Rohan

Ian,

 My question concerns the existence of documentation regarding the following
commands:

add icmp
l3-src-addr 10.0.227.2
l3-dest-addr 10.0.210.5
l2-src-addr 0004.9b85.3400
l2-dest-addr 0050.7327.3000
rate 1750
data-length 10

I have never seen this before, only in the link I provided.

-- Richard

Hi Richard,

Not sure that I follow what you are looking for since the
link and info you presented is for SLA type monitoring using ICMP and/or UDP to measure latency. Typically used for SLA monitoring
purposes. The application is built into the IOS directly and allows you to measure the latency over your links.

As to your question regarding some links on configuration examples for setting up Cisco SAA, here is a pdf that should help.
