Recommend

7、ation ITU-T G.1081 defines five monitoring points where such performance measurements can be made. Source Recommendation ITU-T G.1081 was approved on 22 October 2008 by ITU-T Study Group 12 (2005-2008) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedure. Keywords IPTV, monitoring points, performance, QoE, QoS.

8、 ii Rec. ITU-T G.1081 (10/2008) 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) is a permanent organ of IT

9、U. 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, establishes the topics f

10、or 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 necessary standards are prepared

11、 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, the Recommendation may co

12、ntain 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. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express

13、 requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Propert

14、y Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of in

15、tellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

18、ce monitoring points for IPTV 1 Scope This Recommendation defines performance monitoring points which will allow the service provider/network operator to monitor the performance of the complete IPTV service delivery to the end-user. Successful deployment of IPTV services requires performance monitor

19、ing at the customer premises (e.g., set-top-box), key aggregation points (e.g., DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM) or cable modem termination system (CMTS) and at interconnect points between disparate network domains and service provider domain boundaries. Performance monitoring can help in: Finding err

20、ors in an end-to-end system (system debugging). Checking the resource utilization and the workload of system components. Comparing values (metrics) regarding performance of different system deployments. Providing a base for modelling the system. Identifying system bottlenecks. Optimizing IPTV networ

21、k deployment. Ensuring that system performance does not degrade with time. The goal of performance monitoring is to provide end-users of IPTV services with a high user experience by identifying, localizing and quantifying service and network issues. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations a

Thus, this requirement need not be present to

28、claim conformance. The keyword “may“ indicates a requirement which is optional. 6 IPTV performance monitoring points The entire IPTV content delivery chain can be divided into multiple domains. Operators at domain borders have the option to perform monitoring which, when taken together, forms an end

29、-to-end monitoring topology. This domain approach is independent of any specific monitoring method. Monitored performance characteristics, across a single domain or multiple domains, can be integrated with existing or new operations support systems (OSSs) and/or network management systems (NMSs). Fi

30、gure 1 IPTV domains Rec. ITU-T G.1081 (10/2008) 3 The exact topology and domains will vary from one operator to another; however, monitoring can be applied at each domain boundary. An example topology with generalized domain boundaries is shown in Figure 1. These domains are further divided into spe

31、cific monitoring domains in Figure 2. Within each domain, different aspects can be monitored at each domain boundary as outlined below. Figure 2 IPTV performance monitoring points A complete performance monitoring system is recommended to include a performance monitoring management platform to trans

32、late the measured data from the monitoring points into actionable knowledge. Functions of the management platform could include data storage, analysis, correlation, fault identification, root cause analysis, report generation and visualization. The range of the management platform(s) may cover all d

33、omains as shown in Figure 2. The interfaces between the performance monitoring management platform(s) and the monitoring points will be further defined in the future. 7 Performance monitoring point definitions This clause provides a basic description of each monitoring point shown in the previous cl

34、ause. The capabilities and parameters listed below are not an exhaustive list. Some parameters may be difficult to obtain in some scenarios. Conversely, there may be some other parameters that are essential. These are still under study. 4 Rec. ITU-T G.1081 (10/2008) 7.1 Monitoring point 1 PT1 This p

35、oint demarcates the domain border between content provision and IPTV control. PT1 is located at the domain border between content providers (content owners and aggregators) and an IPTV service provider. PT1 enables the measurement of source audiovisual quality and metadata verification, and the anal

36、ysis of information to be exchanged between the content provider and IPTV service provider. PT1 may capture the following information: coding parameters of video, audio and text content; quality parameters of video, audio and text content; acknowledgement for the report of source content transfer re

37、ceipt. PT1 may support the following capabilities: real-time request/response transactions by the protocols involved; real-time notifications of asynchronous events; reliable and secure delivery of any messages involved; clock synchronization with other monitoring points; identification of various c

38、ontent providers; report testing information for quality parameters of video, audio and text content from various content providers to the service quality monitoring platform. 7.2 Monitoring point 2 PT2 This point is located at the domain border between the service provider and network provider.

40、ode of the service provider; performance parameters of VoD servers at the core node of the service provider; performance parameters of service-related servers at the core node of service provider. PT2 may support the following capabilities: real-time request/response transactions by the protocols in

41、volved; real-time notifications of asynchronous events; reliable and secure delivery of any messages involved; clock synchronization with other monitoring points; identification of various servers; report information for quality parameters of video, audio and text content and performance parameters

46、 quality monitoring platform; access to raw IP information (e.g., packet headers, type of codec) of the audiovisual or text stream; able to capture information on quality originating from end-user devices. 7.4 Monitoring point 4 PT4 This point is closest to the user where monitoring the quality of s

47、treaming, audiovisual quality and IPTV service attributes are important. Monitoring at this point can be implemented by introducing the performance monitoring function in home gateways and STBs, for example. PT4 may capture the following information: Source network segment and destination network se
