I have enabled the SLA monitor on an ASA, and I was wondering what the RTTSum and RTTSum2 Metric Represents?

RTT stands for "Rout Trip Time" I am having trouble figuring what the RTTSum actually represent, how would I read it and apply it to troubleshooting?

And another example

RTTSum is the sum of samples, divide it by sample count and you've got arithmetic mean.

RTTSum2 is sum of squares of samples, you need it for example to derive standard deviation.
