6、tion ITU-T G.1030 Estimating end-to-end performance in IP networks for data applications Summary Recommendation ITU-T G.1030 provides a framework of tools to obtain IP network performance, estimate the performance of user applications, and apply perceptual models to gauge user satisfaction with the

7、end-to-end performance. The user-perceived performance of data applications on packet networks is dependent on many factors, including the end-to-end performance of the packet network, the applications dependency on the communications network, the performance of the terminals and other devices beyon

8、d the purview of the network operator(s), and the users task and the extent of user interaction with the application. Network designers take these factors into account to assure user satisfaction. Once the application performance has been estimated, perceptual models can be applied to interpret the

9、level of end-to-end performance attained. This Recommendation assumes that the reader will be able to provide at least some level of detail about each of the key factors above, and will then use the framework of tools to estimate end-to-end performance.

ITU-T G.1030 (02/2014) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T)

12、is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years

13、, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necess

14、ary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However,

15、 the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met.

30、 or network modelling results; specifications of the application of interest, in terms of its governing protocol(s) with specified options, or a model of the application using network performance and customer appliance performance as input and producing a key metric of application performance (e.g.,

31、 file download time) as a result; a perceptual model intended for the applications of interest, to interpret the application performance as an estimate of the quality experienced by a typical population of users. Figure 6-1 illustrates the general process used to develop an end-to-end performance es

32、timate Figure 6-1 Process to obtain end-to-end performance estimate The steps to obtain network and application performance may be combined in some cases, such as when a simulation provides a means to measure the performance of a particular session, or set of sessions. 6.1 Network performance assess

33、ment Network performance may be assessed in terms of the packet transfer performance parameters defined in ITU-T Y.1540 and other relevant standards (e.g., RFCs developed by the IETF IP Performance Metrics Working Group). Besides the usual one-way transfer performance metrics, the most straightforwa

34、rd assessment of application performance will sometimes be possible with round-trip metrics instead. There are two principal sources of network performance information: measurement and modelling. Network measurements allow the assessor to treat the network as a black-box, and produce information tha

35、t may be useful in the remaining steps of the modelling chain. However, there are several important considerations for the measurement design, including: 1) The sending discipline needs to match the application of interest in some cases. For example, transmission control protocol (TCP) flow control

36、responds to network conditions and tends to fill the queue at the bottleneck, increasing delay beyond that which would otherwise be measured. 2) The non-measurement load must be similar in size and character to the conditions where the performance estimates are to be applicable. Measurements on an u

37、nloaded network are not particularly useful. Rec. ITU-T G.1030 (02/2014) 3 Network modelling can provide the needed performance characterization when the network is not yet fully constructed (e.g., nodes and links are in place, but not running a critical protocol), or when the key considerations for

38、 measurement are not attainable. There are many choices of modelling tools, including commercial products and public domain research tools. Modelling tools require a substantial degree of expertise and information about the network of interest to be used effectively. As an alternative to this fairly

39、 precise network modelling, Appendix I provides simplified methods which may be used for estimating end-to-end performance in an IP network. However, the accuracy of this method will depend greatly on the accuracy of the information provided. 6.2 Application performance assessment Application models

40、 take the estimates of network performance and information describing application device performance as inputs, and produce one or more key metrics of application performance as outputs. One such application performance model has been specified in ITU-T G.1040 for conversational packet exchanges typ

41、ical of credit card and other point-of-sale transactions. For long-lived file transfers using TCPs reliable byte transfer service, the models described in Appendix I provide accurate results, assuming the inputs are correct. 6.3 Perceptual models This Recommendation includes a limited perceptual mod

42、el for a simple web search task in Appendix II. It should be noted that this model cannot be applied to general web browsing as experienced by the end-user as it does not consider the dynamics of real web browsing. For the more complex case of real web browsing, ITU-T G.1031 defines perceptual event

43、s that have to be considered for creating a perceptual model and goes beyond the events considered in the model described in Appendix II. 6.4 Framework for models in the end-to-end performance assessment process Figure 6-2 illustrates the various alternatives in the process to estimate the end-to-en

44、d performance of applications on IP networks. As indicated in this figure, there are many options available to complete the process, although in practice the assessor must combine options that are consistent with the goal of an end-to-end estimate (and with one another). 4 Rec.

ITU-T G.1010 provides QoS categories

49、 for data applications as well as voice and video applications. In addition, Appendix II provides an opinion model for estimating users perceived quality of a simple web search task. This enables diagnostic evaluation based on measured/planned end-to-end delay values in terms of customers opinion. Rec.
