Re: OT: ip sla packet loss w/o responder ?

JR,
I'm trying to monitor packet loss in a real network.
The whole picture is a medium site with asimetrical connectivity
to a couple of providers via 4 links, one of them 8:1 bigger
than the next (26M/4M).

It is congested INBOUND and we are experiencing outbound issues in
services, I suspect related to inbound packet loss. So I want to track
loss to be able to put some facts in my theory.

I've been pointed to OER, which in fact does track packet loss w/o
peer cooperation (as needed AFAIK by ip sla). The problem is that
I have not been able to find a way to extract that knowledge from it :(
Border routers talk to controllers using a propietary protocol (DRIP),
and no MIB is published to expose the data AFAIK.
