TCP SLA reaction config – use rtr or connect ???

I’m getting conflicting suggestions as to how to best set up a tcp sla reaction config.  I know that with icmp the rtr, round trip time, is a good method to keep track of network connectivity.  But for a tcp sla I can’t find data identifying what the max rtr is for tcp.  I thought I should use connection status as a reaction trigger, but a friend is recommending rtr.

 

I’m looking for cold hard facts.  How does rtr work with tcp connection sla????

 

 

 

ip sla 1

tcp-connect 192.168.7.7 23 source-ip 192.168.8.8

timeout 29

frequency 30

ip sla schedule 1 start-time now recurring

 

ip sla 2 

icmp-echo 192.168.1.1 source-ip 192.168.8.8

frequency 120

ip sla schedule 2 start-time now recurring

 

ip sla reaction-configuration 1 react rtt action-type trapOnly

ip sla reaction-configuration 2 react rtt action-type trapOnly

 

 

many thanks!!
