Thanks for the inputs. It helped me clear some confusions regarding jitter.

I have almost gone through the entire CISCO-RTTMON.MIB file, I have not come
across a value which will give me the inter-packet delay (could be I have
missed upon the values). Could you help me with the OIDs which actually
carry these data?
