Priority based queuing and PID statistics can be monitored for each OOBM transport stream.

In the OOBM Transport Stream window, choose the VUE server from the drop down list, and locate the Transport Stream you want to analyze.

Click the ellipsis menu (more options button, last button) on the far right of the desired transport stream. Click PBQ and PID Stats option.

PBQ and PID Statistics window

The PBQ and PID Statistics window has three tabs which provides statistics information about latency, drop and PID.

Statistics tab

Description

PBQ Latency Statistics

Reports 1-minute, 15-minutes, and 60-minutes PBQ latency statistics for each priority queue (High, Medium, and Low). It provides latency in units of microseconds, number of packets serviced, average depth of each priority queue.

Click Close to close the window.

PBQ Packet Drop Statistics

Determines and reports the number of packets dropped in each individual priority queue. When PID based PBQ is enabled, it reports PBQ dropped packet counts for each configured PBQ PID.

Click Close to close the window.

Input PID Statistics

Displays Input port number, PID, total packets, total CC errors, average data rate in Kbps, packets received during last window, CC errors in last window, and status for each input PID totally up to 400 PIDs.

Status gets evaluated once every 6 minutes based on last window CC error count.
  • Gray indicates no information
  • Green indicates packets received with no CC errors
  • Yellow indicates packets received with CC errors less than 2% of current packet count
  • Red indicates packets received with CC errors greater than 2% of current packet count.
