  1. SIMPLE Presence Traffic Optimization and Server Scalability Vishal Kumar Singh Henning Schulzrinne Markus Isomaki Piotr Boni IETF 67, San Diego

  2. Presence Problems Revisited • Resource list server and conditional NOTIFY using entity-tags in SUBSCRIBE address 40% of total inter-domain presence traffic • NOTIFY = 60% of traffic • Traffic scaling • Access network • Low bandwidth (wireless) • Traffic bursts due to user synchronization • Inter-domain traffic • Steady-state NOTIFY message volume • Intra-domain traffic • Server scaling • Partial notify, privacy filtering, composition, …  limited request rate per server

  3. Proposed Solutions • Common NOTIFY for multiple watchers in a domain • Useful in inter-domain scenario • Batched NOTIFY • Useful both in access network and inter-domain scenarios • Timed-status • User can choose to get notified based on calendar information of watcher • On-demand presence • Useful in all scenarios • Adapting the notification rate

  4. Traffic Reduction Vs. Server Load (+) improves, (-) worsens

  5. Watcher SUBSCRIBE (To same presentity) SUBSCRIBE NOTIFY (PIDF + subscriber list) Watcher PUBLISH (PIDF) Presentity Privacy Filtering Domain A Domain B Watcher NOTIFY (PIDF) Watcher Common NOTIFY for Multiple Watchers • Multiple watchers subscribe to same presentity in another domain (Popular user, co-workers on a project) • Presentity’s presence server sends a single NOTIFY to watcher’s domain presence server • Watcher domain presence server distributes it to individual watchers • Issues • Privacy filtering • Failure aggregation • Watcher list to watcher’s domain presence server

  6. Multiple SUBSCRIBE Watcher SUBSCRIBE PUBLISH (PIDF) Presentity Presentity NOTIFY (Multiple PIDFs) Privacy Filtering Watcher Presentity NOTIFY (PIDF) Watcher Domain A Domain B Watcher Batched NOTIFY • Bundled notification (reverse of RLS) • One or more watchers subscribe to multiple presentities in same or another domain • Presentity’s presence server sends a single aggregated NOTIFY • To watcher – per watcher aggregation • To watcher domain presence server – per domain aggregation • Watcher domain presence server distributes NOTIFY messages to individual watchers • Multiple presence document in same NOTIFY • MIME multipart – PIDF concatenation, PIDF-diff concatenation • Identifying and sending the changes only  new event package

  7. Timed Presence • General availability information instead of notification for every status change • calendar information only • limit notification to (say) once a day, not for every new appointment • limit range of time  don’t include year’s calendar in each update  combine with partial notification • Watcher may turn subscriptions on and off based on <timed-status> • Watchers can achieve this using watcher filtering • Currently, watcher filtering does not support timestamp comparison based triggers

  8. On-demand Presence • Watchers don’t need every presence update of every presentity • only care about small (but changing) subset • e.g., those that person is working with currently • SUBSCRIBE with expiration interval set to zero • No state created on the server • Examples • Google Talk? • Presence-based call routing: fetch presence state using SUBSCRIBE to learn whether and where the callee is available, on demand • Reduces traffic in all the three scenarios

  9. Adaptive NOTIFY Rate • Variation of on-demand presence • Adjusting the requested rate of notification • Based on statistical information about multimedia sessions with other users • Estimate: 60-70% of the calls/IM messages with 20% of the buddies • Nearly 50% of the buddies are rarely contacted • Buddies from old city, previous company, college • Hybrid approach • Regular updates • On-demand presence • Adapted rate of notification

  10. PUBLISH (PIDF) Presentity SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBE/ NOTIFY Watchers Presentity NOTIFY Presentity Domain Watcher Domain 5 watchers/domain For each presentity 3/hr State changes Presentity Watchers 2-5 domains 20 watchers from same domain 1,000,000 Presentities (Np) Traffic Analysis • Common NOTIFY for multiple watcher considering only inter-domain steady state • Reduction in traffic by a factor of the average number of watchers per remote domain • total inter-domain watchers/ number of domains for presentity • Batched NOTIFY • Reduction in traffic by a factor of number of presentities watched by a single watcher in the remote domain

  11. Conclusion • Common NOTIFY for multiple watchers reduces inter-domain traffic by average number of watchers per domain • Bundled NOTIFY useful both for access network and inter-domain scenario • Aggregation of multiple presence document or changes to documents • Heuristics (timed-presence, on-demand presence) don’t require protocol work • But watcher filtering needs to be extended to improve scaling of timed-status

  12. Back Up Slides • SIMPLE Problem Statement • Traffic with no optimization • Traffic with RLS and Entity Tags • Issues with common NOTIFY • Issues with bundled NOTIFY • Example of timed presence • Traffic analysis

  13. SIMPLE Problem Statement I • Presence traffic is divided into 3 parts • Initial SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY • Steady state (SUBSCRIBE refresh, NOTIFY) • Sign out (SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY termination) • Resource list server and conditional NOTIFY using entity-tags in SUBSCRIBE addresses 2/5 of total inter-domain presence traffic • NOTIFY constitutes 3/5 of total steady state traffic (details in next 3 slides)

  14. SIMPLE Problem Statement- II PARAMETERS TO CALCULATE PRESENCE TRAFFIC • (A01) Subscription lifetime (hours) • (A02) Presence state changes / hour • (A03) Subscription refresh interval / hour • (A05) Number of dialogs to maintain per watcher • (A04) Total federated presentities per watcher • (A06) Number of watchers in a federated presence domain • (A07) Initial SUBSCRIBE/200 per watcher = A5*2 (message and an OK) • (A08) Initial NOTIFY/200 per watcher = A5*2 (message and an OK) • (A09) Total initial messages = (A7+A8)*A6 • (A10) NOTIFY/200 per watched presentity = (A2*A1*A4*2) (message and an OK) • (A11) SUBSCRIBE/200 refreshes = (A1/A3)*A5*2 (message and an OK) • (A12) NOTIFY/200 due to subscribe refresh - In a deployment where the notification optimization is not deployed this number will be ((A1/A3)*A5), otherwise it is 0 • (A13) Number of steady state messages = (A10+A11+A12)*A6 • (A14) SUBSCRIBE termination = A5*2 (message and an OK) • (A15) NOTIFY terminated = A5*2 (message and an OK) • (A16) Number of sign-out messages = (A7+A8)*A6 • (A17) Total messages between domains (both directions where users from domain A subscribe to users from domain B and vice versa)= (A9+A13+A16)*2 • (A18) Total number of messages / second = A17/A1/3600 (seconds in hour)

  15. Traffic (no optimization) Two presence domains, Each with 20,000 federating users. 4 contacts in the peer domain • (A01) Subscription lifetime (hours) 8 • (A02) Presence state changes / hour 3 • (A03) Subscription refresh interval / hour 1 • (A04) Total federated presentities per watcher 4 • (A05) Number of dialogs to maintain per watcher 4 • (A06) Number of watchers in a federated presence domain 20,000 • (A07) Initial SUBSCRIBE/200 per watcher 8 • (A08) Initial NOTIFY/200 per watcher 8 • (A09) Total initial messages 320,000 • (A10) NOTIFY/200 per watched presentity. 192 • (A11) SUBSCRIBE/200 refreshes 64 • (A12) NOTIFY/200 due to subscribe refresh 64 • (A13) Number of steady state messages 6,400,000 • (A14) SUBSCRIBE termination 8 • (A15) NOTIFY terminated 8 • (A16) Number of sign-out messages 320,000 • (A17) Total messages between domains 14,080,000 • (A18) Total number of messages / second 489

  16. Traffic (With RLS & Entity Tags) Two presence domains, Each with 20000 federating users. 4 contacts in the peer domain • (A01) Subscription lifetime (hours) 8 • (A02) Presence state changes / hour 3 • (A03) Subscription refresh interval / hour 1 • (A04) Total federated presentities per watcher 4 • (A05) Number of dialogs to maintain per watcher 1 • (A06) Number of watchers in a federated presence domain 20,000 • (A07) Initial SUBSCRIBE/200 per watcher 2 • (A08) Initial NOTIFY/200 per watcher 2 • (A09) Total initial messages 80,000 • (A10) NOTIFY/200 per watched presentity. 192 • (A11) SUBSCRIBE/200 refreshes 16 • (A12) NOTIFY/200 due to subscribe refresh 0 • (A13) Number of steady state messages 4,160,000 • (A14) SUBSCRIBE termination 2 • (A15) NOTIFY terminated 2 • (A16) Number of sign-out messages 80,000 • (A17) Total messages between domains 8,640,000 • (A18) Total number of messages / second 300 Reduction in NOTIFY/200 because of SUBSCRIBE refresh and SUBSCRIBE count. NO GAIN in NOTIFY which constituted 3/5 of Steady State Messages.

  17. Traffic Optimization Approaches • RLS • Access network • Only for SUBSCRIBE messages • Conditional SUBSCRIBE • Only for NOTIFY corresponding to SUBSCRIBE refresh • SIGCOMP • Watcher filtering • Server load + Client support • Partial publication and notification • Server load + Client support

  18. Proposed Solutions • Common NOTIFY for multiple watchers • Useful mainly in inter-domain scenario • Batched NOTIFY • Useful both in access network and inter-domain scenarios • Timed-status • User can choose to get notified based on calendaring information • On-demand presence • Useful in all scenarios • Adapting the notification rate

  19. Issues with Common NOTIFY for Multiple Watchers • Privacy filtering • Per domain filters • Watcher domain filter performs the privacy filter • XCAP based privacy filter downloads • Layer 8 negotiation between presence servers of two domains • Failure aggregation • Failure of NOTIFY causes subscription termination • Update notification server about delivery failures.

  20. Issues with Common NOTIFY for Multiple Watchers • Watcher list to watcher’s domain presence server • Watcher domain presence server maintains subscription of all the client’s from its domain to the presentity • Presentity’s domain presence server sends the list of watchers in each NOTIFY message • Watcher’s domain server subscribes using WINFO event package to get the list of watchers from its domain

  21. Issues with Batched NOTIFY • Presence status update for presentities may not occur simultaneously • Watchers need to specify a tolerable delay for receiving presence state update for each presentity • Probably using a watcher filter • NOTIFY delivery failure indication and subscription termination • ‘Subscription-state’ header in the NOTIFY message is indicates subscription termination • Bundled notification doesn’t indicate subscription termination, hence, terminating NOTIFY messages cannot be sent using this mechanism • Notifier needs to know if the NOTIFY was delivered successfully or not

  22. Example of Timed-Presence PIDF <presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf“ xmlns:ts="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:timed-status“ entity="pres:someone@columbia.edu"> <tuple id="c8dqui"> <status> <basic>open</basic> </status> <ts:timed-status from="2006-11-04T10:20:00.000-05:00" until="2006-11-08T19:30:00.000-05:00"> <ts:basic>closed</ts:basic> </ts:timed-status> <contact>sip:Vishal@cs.columbia.edu</contact> <note>I'll be in San Diego, IETF meeting</note> </tuple> </presence>

  23. PUBLISH (PIDF) Presentity SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBE/ NOTIFY Watchers Presentity NOTIFY Presentity Domain Watcher Domain 5 watchers/domain For each presentity 3/hr State changes Presentity Watchers 2-5 domains 20 watchers from same domain 1,000,000 Presentities (Np) Traffic Analysis - I • NOTIFY traffic • Np x rate x Num_watchers [ local + remote domains] + log-in + log-out • Np x rate x [ 20 + (2 to 5) x 5 ] + initial + final • PUBLISH • Np x rate • SUBSCRIBE • Np x Num_watchers [ local + remote domains] x refresh rate + initial + final • Np x refresh rate • The above is after applying RLS and conditional NOTIFY

  24. Traffic Analysis - II • Common NOTIFY for multiple watcher considering only inter-domain steady state • Reduction in traffic by a factor = Average number of watchers per remote domain • For widely distributed inter-domain presence in SIMPLE problem statement • 5 federations and 20 federated watchers • Number of NOTIFY = ¼ times the number of NOTIFY in steady state. • Batched NOTIFY • Reduction in traffic by a factor (at least) = Average number of presentities watched by a single watcher per remote domain

  25. Presence Traffic Size • Size of SIMPLE message • Size of a single tuple ~ 400 bytes • Size of SIP header ~ 450 bytes • Size of body with single tuple ~ 600 bytes • Rate of change of presence = 3/hr • Watchers = 20+10 [intra-domain + inter-domain (2 domains with 5 watchers each)] • Let number of user be N = 20,000 • PUBLISH = N x 3/hr x [1200 + 600] • SUBSCRIBE = N x 2 (RLS), Ignoring NOTIFY for this • NOTIFY = N x 3/hr x (intra-domain watcher + inter-domain watcher) x [size of NOTIFY + size of 200 OK] • Total traffic from server = 0.93 MB /sec • Inter-domain traffic from server = 0.3 MB/sec • Inter-domain traffic from server ~ 0.055 MB/sec (with Common NOTIFY) • Total traffic from server = 0.70 MB/sec (with Common NOTIFY)

  26. Server Costs Vs. Network Cost • Some optimization techniques incur heavy load on the server • Tradeoff between server scalability vs. traffic scalability • Typical presence server scalability (based on Columbia’s presence server performance measurement) • 600 messages per second or 2 million messages per hour. • Publish processing (composition), subscription handling and notification. • Scalability in terms of number of users: • With 1 endpoint per user and 50 buddies per user • With 2 status changes per hour per user • Approx number of concurrent users supported is 20,000 per server (NOTIFY only considered)
