9、ecommendation ITU-T Y.1543 was approved on 13 November 2007 by ITU-T Study Group 12 (2005-2008) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedure. ii Rec. ITU-T Y.1543 (11/2007) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunication

10、s, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) 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

11、on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, 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

12、down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary 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 telecommunicati

13、on administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, 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 mandator

14、y provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws atte

15、ntion to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or other

16、s outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent

ITU-T Y.1543 (11/2007) Introduction Network performance expectations must be set and

22、monitored among users and service providers to raise confidence in network delivery. Users typically only see the end-to-end performance, i.e., the concatenation of performance over multiple network segments and/or across multiple heterogeneous service providers. Thus, meaningful discussions of netw

23、ork quality of service (QoS) between users and service providers are most relevant on an end-to-end basis. Existing standards specify several metrics and measurement methods for point-to-point performance. Notable are Recommendations ITU-T Y.1540 and Y.1541 and the IETF IP Performance Metrics (IPPM)

24、 Working Group standards. However, many options and parameters are left unspecified, as are mapping between IP and non-IP metrics, accuracy and data handling. Each of these topics must be specified in order to support QoS across multiple heterogeneous service providers. Therefore, this Recommendatio

25、n specifies the essential measurement options, so that performance measurements conducted by operators in their administrative domains can be easily combined to estimate the end-to-end network performance or the inter-domain QoS. Rec. ITU-T Y.1543 (11/2007) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Y.1543 Measurements

26、 in IP networks for inter-domain performance assessment 1 Scope This Recommendation describes measurements which are applicable for: 1) Providers delivery assurance of customers network performance. 2) Providers to supply performance information for prospective customers. 3) Providers troubleshootin

27、g among their networks along defined paths. 4) Providers internal indication of performance impact of changes within their networks. 5) Providers monitoring of each others network performance. 6) Providing information to other NGN components, e.g., RACF, bandwidth broker, OSS/BSS, etc. The scope of

28、this Recommendation covers active and passive measurement and combinations of these two techniques. Active measurement employs packets dedicated to the measurement function inserted at one measurement point and collected at a remote measurement point. Passive measurement usually involves observation

29、s of user packet traffic at one or more measurement points. Spatial measurement is a special category of active measurement that employs both active and passive techniques. It utilizes observations of measurement-dedicated packets at three or more measurement points, where one or more point(s) simpl

30、y monitor(s) (and do(es) not terminate) the test packets. This Recommendation presents requirements for performance measurements including performance attributes and time-escales. Building upon existing standards, it recommends best practice in these areas based on ITU-T Y.1540. Comparisons to other

31、 standards (IETF RFCs) are included. Defining the probe packet format is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. This Recommendation describes a network model which locates key points of demarcation and measurement. It categorizes various measurements and shows how they may be applied to the networ

32、k model. It reviews time synchronization and sets targets for equipment which is located at various points in the network model. Security requirements of the measurement traffic are analysed, approaches are considered, and then a set of approaches are picked. Security of BGP, synchronization systems

33、 and customer equipment are beyond the scope of this Recommendation. Customer interactions with their service provider are discussed at a high level. Details of transferring results to customers are beyond the scope of this Recommendation. The target networks of this Recommendation are IP networks a

34、nd MPLS-enabled IP networks, pure L2 and other non-native IP networks are out of its scope. This Recommendation describes how to measure the minimally required set of metrics to describe the performance of networks. Specification of advanced analysis and dissemination of measurement data are beyond

35、the scope of this Recommendation. Impairment allocation and mapping performance among IP and non-IP networks are beyond the scope of this Recommendation. Methods to determine the exact network path that packets will follow are beyond the scope of this Recommendation. 2 Rec. ITU-T Y.1543 (11/2007) 2

41、on the service availability function. A period is considered unavailable if there is an excessive packet loss ratio (PLR) (e.g., 75%) over a specific fixed time interval. The interval may be set independently for each QoS class, but currently only one interval is specified, 5 minutes. 8 Rec. ITU-T Y

42、.1543 (11/2007) This definition is intended to capture periods of very poor performance and requires the network performance to return to normal levels before the unavailability is ended. During a period of unavailability, none of the delay or delay variation metrics are valid. Path period unavailab

43、ility (IPUA) is measured by summing the periods of unavailability and dividing by the total period being covered. The period being covered to be used is the default “reporting to customer“ period. It should be noted that the IDQ system keeps track of each individual period of unavailability for repo

44、rting to customers. Unavailability is largely insensitive to distance, but is sensitive to single points of failure in a network architecture. It will vary significantly with access technologies and configurations. To achieve a low level of unavailability, diverse transmission paths are required. 5.

45、4.1 Relationship to existing standards b-IETF RFC 2678 defines parameters for unidirectional connectivity and bidirectional instantaneous connectivity. Both these metrics can be used to assess connectivity over time, similar to the Y.1540 service availability function. 6 Performance measurement requ

46、irements Inter-domain QoS is intended to increase the level of confidence in the expected service characteristics of the NGN. Increased confidence will enable new applications, services and revenue streams. An integral part of achieving this confidence is the continuous measurement of service perfor

47、mance. The purpose of taking measurements is to provide information for customers, potential customers and service providers, and includes: 1) For customers and potential customers: a) Reports to customers of what service has been delivered. b) Reports to potential customers to support marketing cla

48、ims on service characteristics. 2) For service providers and third party delivery assurance entities: a) Reports to design service offerings. b) Reports for troubleshooting. c) Data for marketing collateral. d) Reports to enable capacity planning and service development. The IDQ measurement system a

49、nd the statistics that it produces must: a) be easily understood by SPs and customers; b) be well defined (non-ambiguous); c) be relevant to customers applications; d) enable service providers to diagnose issues and anticipate capacity requirements; e) be independently repeatable (multiple SP measurements over the same time get the same result); f) be independently verifiable by customers (customer measurements should be close to SP estimates); g) be widely applicable (traffic type, link size, load independent, any IP network); h)
