Collaboration

NQA can collaborate with the Track module to notify application modules of state or performance changes so that the application modules can take predefined actions.

Figure 6: Collaboration

The following describes how a static route destined for 192.168.0.88 is monitored through collaboration:

  1. NQA monitors the reachability to 192.168.0.88.

  2. When 192.168.0.88 becomes unreachable, NQA notifies the Track module of the change.

  3. The Track module notifies the static routing module of the state change.

  4. The static routing module sets the static route to invalid according to a predefined action.
