ATIS-0800041, Implementers Guide to QoS Metrics 4, is recommended

8、 reading. 4.2 Overview/Background of IPTV QoS Metrics Metadata The metadata for the IPTV QoS Metrics has been developed using with the following philosophy: The Metadata is future proof. The Metadata is expandable. The Metadata is delivery agnostic. The Metadata can be used to request or deliver QoS

9、 metrics. The Metadata can define the measurement interval. The Metadata can be used in a polled or event-driven environment. 4.2.1 Future Proof The QoS Metrics Metadata is future-proofed for addition of new IPTV metrics by defining the metric identifiers as non-specific strings, where the value of

10、the string is the name of the metric defined in 1 and 2. There are no enumerated values. All of the metric parameters are defined as strings with exception of the timestamp, which uses the XML standardized dateTime value. 4.2.2 Expandable The QoS Metrics Metadata is expandable by utilizing a simple

11、loop with an unlimited number of elements. 4.2.3 Delivery Mechanism The QoS Metrics Metadata is designed to be delivery-agnostic. ATIS-0800045 3 4.2.4 Parameter Request The QoS Metrics Metadata can be used to request specific parameters by setting the MetricRequest element to “TRUE”. If this value i

12、s false, then the data contains the report for the QoS metrics which can be the requested parameters, all parameters, or any group of parameters. The methodology used to determine which parameters to report is outside the scope of this document. 4.2.5 Parameter Response The QoS Metrics Metadata can

13、be used as a response with the specific parameters from the “Parameter Request” or may report specific parameters as an event. The event-based “Parameter Response” operation and what parameters to report are outside the scope of this document. 4.2.6 Poll/Event The QoS Metrics Metadata is agnostic to

14、 whether it is polled or delivered as an event. 4.2.7 Interval Management Some of the QoS metrics parameters utilize the concept of an interval during which the desired metric is measured and then stored. Parameters with an interval have a start time and duration. Resolution is one second for all st

15、art times and durations. The interval start time and duration is defined in the “Parameter Request”. Interval start time is one of the following: Start immediately. Start n seconds after receiving the “Parameter Request”. Start at a fixed time. Recurring measurement. When there is a recurring measur

16、ement, the “Parameter Response” supports reporting multiple intervals for a given parameter. 5 IPTV QOS METRICS METADATA SPECIFICATION (NORMATIVE) 5.1 IPTV QoS Metrics XML Framework 5.1.1 XML Schema The IPTV QoS Metrics XML Description Schema that has been developed under the auspices of ATIS is ass

17、ociated with the IIF “qmet:” XML namespace. The full IPTV QoS Metrics XML Description Schema is in the form of a “.xsd” file, which is contained in a “zip” archive that accompanies the present document. In the event of any conflict, this “.xsd” file takes precedence over the XML schema definitions i

18、n the present document. The formal definition of the ATIS IIF qmet: metadata namespace is: xmlns:qmet=“http:/www.atis.org/ServiceDelivery/IPTV/QoSMetrics/1/schema“ ATIS-0800045 4 The ATIS IPTV QoS Metrics XML schema imports XML Description Schemes from the W3C XML specification 5 and ATIS IIF Global

19、 XML Types definition. The namespaces of these schemes are: xmlns=“http:/www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema“ xmlns:gt=“http:/www.atis.org/ServiceDelivery/IPTV/GlobalTypes/3/schema“ REQ.0800045.1 The IPTV QoS Metrics XML Schema shall be associated with the “qmet:” XML namespace. REQ.0800045.2 The ATIS IIF qme

20、t: metadata namespace shall be xmlns:qmet=“http:/www.atis.org/ServiceDelivery/IPTV/QoSMetrics/1/schema”. 5.1.2 Identifiers The XML type gt:IIFIDType is used for identifiers of a number of XML elements in the present document. The XML type gt:IIFIDRefType is used for references to such elements, wher

21、eby the identifier of the referenced element has the same value as the reference. REQ.0800045.3 The XML type gt:IIFIDType identifiers shall be globally-unique URIs. 5.2 IPTV QoS Metadata Implementation 5.2.1 IPTV QoS Metrics Request/Response Metadata Operation An IPTV QoS Metrics Request/Response cy

22、cle consists of a request and response. REQ.0800045.4 After receiving an IPTV QoS Metrics Request, the Measurement Point shall send the IPTV QoS Metrics data response after the measurement has been made. 5.2.1.1 IPTV QoS Metrics Event Operation The Measurement Point may send the IPTV QoS Metrics dat

23、a at its own discretion for example, based on a fault occurring or at a periodic time interval. The methodology that dictates how a Measurement Point determines when to send the IPTV QoS Metrics data is out of scope for this document. REQ.0800045.5 The Measurement Point may send the IPTV QoS Metric

24、data at its own discretion. 5.2.2 IPTV QoS Metrics Type Description The IPTV QoS Metrics Metadata follows a simple format that references the QoS Metrics parameters defined in Table 2 of ATIS-0800008 1 and Tables 1 and 2 of ATIS-0800011 2. This allows for support of future revisions by updating the

25、table. The parameter names have the whitespace removed.
