AVP and AVPF Interop • Whe AVP and AVPF is interoperating one must choose certain parameters correctly. • In trying to determine the most suitable based on the timing rules a AVPF timing issue was found that is problematic for interop. • Based on simulations of the algorithm • There might be bugs in the simulation
avg_rtcp_size:200 bytes • RR: 500 bps • RS: 1000 bps • Senders: 1 • Members: 2 • We_sent: FALSE • Trr-int:5 • Tmin:5 (AVP only) AVPF vs AVP Problems • Simulated distributions of RTCP transmission interval • Tn is AVPF sending rules without suppression or reconsideration, i.e. Td*rand(0.5,1.5) • AVPF(TN no supp) is with reconsideration • AVP is RFC 3550 including reconsideration • When Td calculation becomes close to, but below Trr-int AVPF suppression pushes transmissions interval distribution upwards and uneven in distribution
avg_rtcp_size:200 bytes • RR: 10000 bps • RS: 1000 bps • Senders: 1 • Members: 2 • We_sent: FALSE • Trr-int:5 • Tmin:5 (AVP only) Td << Trr-int • Here the RTCP bandwidth portion the calculation uses has been increased from 500 to 10k bps, i.e. 20 times • Reduces Td • Therefore both Tn and AVPF without suppression are all ending up in the 0.25-0.5 s range • As can be seen the AVPF distribution are mostly uniform in the range 0.5-1.5*Trr-int, with a little bit of tail • However, still longer tail than AVP
avg_rtcp_size:200 bytes • RR: 500 bps • RS: 1000 bps • Senders: 1 • Members: 4 • We_sent: FALSE • Trr-int:5 • Tmin:5 (AVP only) Td>Trr-Int • Same RR as the problem slide 500 bps, but now with 4 members, i.e. 3 receivers sharing RR • As can be seen here only a little bit of suppression happens at the 4-7.5 s range, i.e. 0.5-1.5*Trr-int. • That suppression do show up as bit of long tail above 12.5 seconds
Question: What gives best interop? • So how does an AVPF user set his parameters to best interoperate from a perspective of avoiding accidental timeout: • The Regular RTCP transmission distribution is one factor which is depending on: • Trr-int that sets suppression • The Td deciding values: • Members • Senders • RR and RS • Average RTCP packet size • The other is when AVPF times out AVP participants • 5*Trr-Int given that Trr-int != 0 • Thus we must combine Trr-int large enough so that an AVPF particpant do not time out AVP participants • At the same time AVPF regular RTCP transmission interval should not be so long that AVP times out • How many consecutive packet losses are needed before timeout happens?
Td parameterization • When using AVPF one should try to avoid setting RR and RS so that Td in the given session are close to Trr-int. • The tail in the AVPF RTCP interval distribution is at its extreme at 1.5*Trr-int + 1.5*Td/1.21828 • Worst case Td = Trr-int: 2.73*Trr-int • Tdshould preferably be less than 1/4th of Trr-Int • That gives us max tail length of: • 1.5*Trr-int + 1.5*Trr-int/(4*1.21828) ≈ 1.81 Trr-int • AVP’s tail ends at 1.5*Tmin/1.21828 = 1.231*Tmin • Given that Td is less than Tmin • Otherwise replace Tmin with Td
Equalizing the tails • If we would like to have equally values for the extreme randomization intervals given that Td is less than Tmin and Trr-int: • Trr-int = 1.231/1.81*Tmin • 1.81 (following the Td < 1/4thTrr-int recommendation) • Tmin = 5 s => Trr-int = 3.40 s • This ensures that no AVPF session participant is more likely to time out than an AVP one. • However, the reverse is not true.
Timing out AVP participants • An AVPF participant will timeout an participant at 5*Trr-int, • Equivalent of AVP participants using a Trr-int as a factor for number of intervals before timing out. • This assumes Tmin=5s and Td<Tmin
Finding the optimal both ways • So what is the point of least decrease in timeout robustness performance: • Given that Tmin = 5 s and Td < Tmin • AVPF intervals before AVP timeout(target): • 5*Tmin/(Trr-int) • AVPF intervals before AVP timeout(1/4 * Trr-int): • 5*Tmin/(Trr-int*1.81) • AVPF Intervals before AVP timeout (1/10 * Trr-int): • 5*Tmin/(Trr-int*1.623) • AVP intervals before AVPF timeout (target): • 5*Trr-int/5 • AVP intervals before AVPF timeout (worst case): • 5*Trr-int/(1.231*Tmin)
Recommendations • Based on these findings it appears that the following recommendations for AVPF vs AVP interop should be given: • RR and RS sufficiently large that Td becomes less than ¼ of Trr-int • Trr-int should be chosen as 4.0
Future Work? • Do the Suppression algorithms bad behavior needs to be addressed?
