Packet Latency Thresholding Notes

By default, the latency-based performance settings for packet handling is disabled. You may choose to enable it. However, Cisco recommends that you do not change the default value for the threshold setting.

The information in this below applies only if you choose to specify custom values.

Packet Latency Thresholding Option

Option

Description

Threshold (microseconds)

Specifies the time, in microseconds, when inspection of a packet ceases.

You can enable rule 134:3 to generate an event and, in an inline deployment, drop offending packets when the system stops inspecting a packet because the packet latency threshold is exceeded. For more information, see Intrusion Rule State Options.
