The Quality of Experience (QoE) feature provides a high-level, aggregated view of application experience for client traffic traversing an Ericsson endpoint. By sampling traffic flows and evaluating full end-to-end round-trip latency, either per interface or per application depending on endpoint class, QoE generates a simplified score of Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor. This scoring enables quick visibility into the overall latency performance impacting client experience. Importantly, the QoE score reflects the cumulative impact of the entire traffic path and is not intended to isolate performance issues tied to any single network segment.

Note

The Quality of Experience (QoE) feature requires a NetCloud Advanced add-on license to be enabled on any endpoint. Feature availability varies by endpoint class.

  • Router-class endpoints licensed with Advanced can view QoE scores both per WAN interface and per identified client application.

  • Adapter-class endpoints licensed with Advanced are limited to viewing QoE scores per WAN interface only; application-level visibility is not supported.

Click the Quality of Experience card to open the Quality of Experience page. The Quality of Experience page contains the Interfaces and Applications tabs. These tabs allow you to review QoE by router, router group, and by application.

The Interfaces tab contains a time-series graph of QoE for interfaces and a table of the interfaces. The table of interfaces lists each interface in the account and includes each interface's name, current status, type, and QoE and latency scores.

The Applications tab contains QoE information for the applications in use on your network. This application QoE information is displayed with a time-series graph that includes a bubble for each application. Hover over these bubbles to see bytes in/bytes out amounts for each application. Use the applications table on the Applications tab to see details (application name and bytes in/out for the network applications' QoE. Click an application name to view that application's QoE on a time-series graph.

Important

To enable per-application QoE scoring on router-class endpoints, the Traffic Analytics feature must be enabled. If all application QoE traffic appears as Unknown, it indicates that Traffic Analytics is not currently active.

The tables on both the Device and Applications tabs can be filtered by QoE scores by clicking the Filter button.

Available QoE scores and their corresponding color indicators
  • Excellent (Green)

  • Good (Light Green)

  • Fair (Orange)

  • Poor (Red)

Latency is mapped to a logarithmic scale from 1 to 1000, where lower values indicate better QoE. The table below illustrates how latency ranges correspond to QoE scores.

Latency Value

QoE Score

60-149ms

25 (Excellent)

150-299ms

50 (Good)

300-499ms

75 (Fair)

>= 500ms

99 (Poor)

Tip

The US0 region NetCloud Manager production instance has a weekly maintenance window from Sunday 12:00 UTC to Sunday 13:00 UTC. Maintenance is usually lasts 15 minutes. During this time users may briefly see server errors for Wan Uptime and QoE. No data is lost during maintenance.
