  2. Context Setting for the proposal MG Application level priority (e.g. RSVP for S1, but no RSVP for S2) Applications Applications Streaming Media, Transaction, Bulk data transfer etc RTP / FTP/ HTTP RTP / FTP/ HTTP Various packet level priority ( TOS, DiffServ etc.) TCP/UDP TCP/UDP IP IP IP IP IP Network MAC 802.3 MAC 802.3 MAC IEEE 802.3 MAC IEEE 802.3 PHYSICAL PHYSICAL PHYSICAL PHYSICAL Router Router IP End Points Domain 2 ……. IP End Points Domain N Domain 1 Domain N+1 Multiple Equipment vendors, Multiple geographic locations, Multiple xSPs Control multiple Administrative and Provisioning domain

  3. RAQMON Network Configuration Monitoring Applications via SNMP Video/IP/IM/Voice Corporate Network Application Administrator SNMP Statistics Reported LAN/VPN INTRANET Voice over IP SNMP SNMP Regional Report Collector (Periodic Packets to populate MIB) IP Network Media Gateway SNMP Wireless Gateway Network / Application Service Provider RAQMON MIB Bluetooth

Scope of the Framework Out of Scope of Framework Protocol used to communicate Measurement Methodology Measurement Accuracy X RAQMON PDU over RTCP or SNMP End Device End Device RDS RDS SNMP RRC RAQMON MIB Scope of the Framework Existing Internet Protocol used to carry RAQMON PDU RAQMON SNMP MIB

RAQMON Architecture (Functional ) IP End Device  APPLICATION Communication Network IP PSTN Cellular Optical Context-sensitive Metrics (e.g.VoIP vs. Instant Messaging) Transport Network Condition Specific Metrics (e.g. Jitter) Network Policy Specific ( e.g. RSVP Failed, Diffsrv = EF) Device Sate Specific Metrics (e.g. CPU Usage)  RAQMON Data Source (RDS) Network Alarm Manager Variable Metrics Parameters Updated using RAQMON PDU  (IP Address, port) Transport Protocol Agnostic SNMP SNMP RAQMON Report Collector (RRC) # 1 RAQMON MIB Management Application

Framework Accommodates addition of new parameters to the list …..

  7. What is not proposed in RAQMON Framework! • Creation/Extension/Modification of any existing protocol in order to support RAQMON PDU is out of scope of the RAQMON charter proposal • Methodology to measure any of the QOS parameters defined in the RAQMON Framework is out of scope for this proposal. • Measurement algorithms are left upon the implementers and equipment vendors to choose. • Consistent with other RMON WG work items like APM, TPM etc.

  8. Overall RAQMON I-D Status • RAQMON idea was first presented at 51st IETF session in RMON WG • There seemed interest in 51st IETF session by the RMON community • RAQMON I-D was made available for 52nd IETF • draft-siddiqui-rmonmib-raqmon-mib-00.txt • Discussions around RAQMON I-D have happened • within the RMON mailing list during 52nd and 53rd IETF • out of band interest/comments from various vendors for participation • Official RAQMON charter went out after 54th IETF • 3 drafts were called out in the charter • RAQMON Framework, RAQMON PDU and RAQMON MIB

  9. RAQMON Protocol Data Unit (PDU)55th IETF Session – AtlantaRMON Work Group • Anwar Siddiqui, Dan Romascanu, Eugene Golovinsky • <draft-siddiqui-rmonmib-raqmon-pdu-00.txt>

  10. RAQMON PDU Overview • A set of RAQMON Application level PDUs to have “common formats” for reporting statistics • Between a RAQMON Data Source (RDS) and a RAQMON Report Collector (RRC). • RAQMON PDUs will be transported over existing protocols • RTCP (using RTCP APP Packets) • SNMP (using SNMP INFORM) • RDS and RRC are Peer-to-Peer entities • RDS reports what “IT” feels to be appropriate for the “application context” • RRC consumes what “IT” feels to be appropriate for the “application context” • RDS  RRC communication should be stateless • Minimal (preferably No) setup transaction to tell the collector which metrics the data source will be sending later on. • RAQMON PDUs can be lossy • Complementary to IPFIX charter • RAQMON PDUs should be extensible for future • To add additional matrices

  11. RAQMON PDU Types • BASIC PDU • Basic PDUs are TLV pair • Draft provides a list of initial matrix(i.e. not meant to be exhaustive) • Matrix parameters are selected by the apps • Compound sessions can be reported as multiple sub-sessions • End devices control the rate of reporting • APP PDU • Can be extended to add new parameters not spelled out in initial draft

  12. RAQMON PDU over RTCP • RAQMON PDUs inside RTCP APP Packets • Different Ports will be IANA registered for RAQMON PDUs over RTCP RTCP APP Packet RAQMON specific and IANA Registered

  13. Using a well-known protocol. Very light weight Privacy and authentication are covered by RTP/RTCP No acknowledgement required RRC is burdened by RTCP RRC have to be RTCP sink! Need to understand atleast RTCP APP Packets RTCP Pros and Cons PROS CONS

  14. RAQMON PDU over SNMP • RDSs will not be required to respond to SNMP requests • Keep the RDS design simple. • The RDS “MAY” ignore the SNMP Inform Responses, or, if better • Requires retransmission Inform PDU • RAQMON information is mapped to an SNMP Inform PDU in 2 ways. • Mapping RAQMON data items to MIB variables (i.e. uses NOTIFICATION-TYPE macro) • Encoding RAQMON PDU format within a small set of MIB items.

  15. Using a well-known protocol. Easy integration with RMON Framework Privacy and authentication are covered by SNMPv3 RRC can use an SNMP manager implementation to process Informs. Overhead SNMP puts on low-powered RDSs! BER encoding on a PDA or a pager or in an IP Phone Proposed Solution: To alleviate this, possibility of encoding INFORM PDUs using UTF-8 should be studied further. However this would require a RAQMON PDU specific code in the RRC, and a new IANA UDP port Acknowledgements from RRCs to RDSs can create bottleneck Session centric RDS design Sending ACKs also wastes network bandwidth. SNMP Pros & Cons PROS CONS

  16. Backgrounder

  17. Relationship to current work in various WGs • Rapmon Framework correlates “per transactions statistics” to “performance of a particular transaction” (e.g. call setup  call’s media stream performance) • Proposed Rapmon Framework conforms to APM and TPM completely. • Rapmon work is complementary to the work that’s going on in ippm WG. • This proposal conforms to ippm WG’s recommendations fully. • Proposed Rapmon Framework is complimentary to current work that is going on in the areas of synthetic source.
