Outline • Introduction • Architecture of EuQoS MMS • MMS for supporting trials • MMS for supporting EuQoS system functions • Exemplary deployment • Summary
Therefore, development of effective Monitoring and Measurement System (MMS)is a crucial part of a system design Introduction (1) • The measurements play a key role in modern IP networks, because: • IP network becomes more and more complex • many domains administrated by autonomous operators • different network technologies, like DiffServ, MPLS, xDSL, WLAN, LAN, ... • evolve towards multi-service networks able to provideQoS (Quality of Service) • Provide knowledge about the network state useful for: • Traffic control, e.g. Measurement based Admission Control • Traffic engineering, e.g. provisioning • Operation and Maintenance: • Fault detection • Network anomaly detection
Introduction (2) What is EuQoS? • 6FR EU project: www.ist-euqos.org • Objective: to develop solution for providing end-to-end QoS in multidomain, heterogeneous network EuQoS Approach QoS is provided by deployment of end-to-end Classes of Service (CoS), that support specific type of traffics with respect to their QoS requirements Use measurements to support EuSoS system functions: CAC, TERO, OAM Take a pragmatic approach

Architecture of EuQoS MMS (1) • The role of EuQoS MMS system is to provide tools for: • performing trials of EuQoS system • supporting EuQoS systems functions (CAC, TERO) • on-line monitoring of QoS level offered by EuQoS CoSs (OAM) • The key elements of EuQoS MMS we deal with are: • location of the measurement points inside a network • design of measurement tools • measurement control
Intra-domain service in AS1 Intra-domain service in AS2 Inter-domain service AS1-AS2 Architecture of EuQoS MMS (2) Location of Measurement Points (MP) • Taking into account EuQoS network architecture • All measurements are performed on the IP layer • Measurement Points are placed in the points where particular CoS (intra- or inter-domian) begins or ends to operate AS- Autonomous System BR – Border Router
Architecture of EuQoS MMS (3) Reference location of MPs: • In core network: • MPXa– input interface of the ingress border router • MPXb – entrance to the queue of output interface of the ingress border router • MPXc – input interface of the egress border router. • MPXd – entrance to the queue on the output interface of the egress border router • In access network: • MPXt – at IP interface of the user terminal
MMS for supporting trials (1) • Objective: Validation the QoS level offered by EuQoS CoSs • Methodology: • establish a test flow • load the network by background flows up to CAC limit in: • Tested CoS • Other CoSs • Measure QoS parameters: IPTD, IPDV, IPLR, throughput for the test flow • Tools: • BTG: to load the network by aggregated traffic • TrTG: to load the network by traffic reproduced from traces • Netmeter: for measuring QoS parameters
IPDV: IP Packet Delay Variation (IETF IPPM) • OWD: One Way Delay MMS for supporting trials (2) • Netmeter – tool for measuring QoS parameters • One-Way Delay (OWD) • IP Delay Variation (IPDV) • Packet Loss Ratio (IPLR) • throughput • MOS aproximation for VoIP • Methodology • Uses active measurements, with MGEN generator • Different traffic patterns: • CBR • Poissonian • ON/OFF • greedy TCP
MMS for supporting EuQoS system functions (1) Objective: to support the performance of EuQOS system functions: • Call Admission Control (CAC) • MMS provides information about available inter-domain routing paths and the QoS level offered by them (gathered from EQ-BGP) • MMS provides information about instantaneous load on the inter-domain links used for measurement based admission control • Traffic Engineering and Resource Optimisation: • MMS provides load carried inside each CoS used for network provisioning • Operation & Mantainence • On-line monitoring of QoS level (values of IPTD, IPDV, IPLR) offered by CoSs
MMS for supporting EuQoS system functions (2) • TAT: Topology Acquisition Tool • LLMT: Link Load Measurement Tool • ORENETA: QoS monitoring tool • MMS Measurement Controller • Controlling the tools • Collecting results • Interface with EuQoS MMFM TAT

Exemplary deployment of MMS in WiFi • Problems with deployment of MMS tools • Limited access to the routers • In case of WiFi it is not possible to use aggregate models of background traffic as the number of terminals influence results • MP1, MP2, MP3 has installed: • Netmeter • Oreneta • BTG • TRTG • MMS Controller • TAT • Netmeter analyser • Oreneta analyser • LLMT Controller
