  1. Performance Adhoc GroupIEEE 802.17Summary of Progress Khaled Amer IEEE 802.17 Plenary Meeting March 2001

  2. Formation of the Perf Adhoc Group Formed in Jan 2001 as a separate Adhoc committee within 802.17 WG to look into performance issues Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  3. Perf Adhoc Objectives Objectives: • Set parameters, metrics, scenarios to help provide a consistent way of comparing architectural ideas • Analyze simulations results presented in the 802.17 WG meetings • Not chartered to run simulations for the working group Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  4. Perf Adhoc Objectives ... • Agree on common/consistent perf simulation scenarios and metrics: • Traffic Models • Performance Metrics • Test Scenarios • Presentation format/style • Other? Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  5. Perf Adhoc Objectives ... • These would be used to: • Compare the performance characteristics of various proposals • Compare performance characteristics of RPR solutions vs. competing technologies Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  6. Mailing List • Currently using the 802.17 reflector • Put ‘RPR Perf:’ in subject field • May decide to have a separate mailing list for perf discussions in the future (?) Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  7. Participation in Perf Adhoc Group • Anyone welcome to participate • People who can contribute to the perf analysis and perf modeling efforts • People just interested in these topics • People concerned about performance related issues and comparison process • And then … anyone is welcome! Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  8. Goals for this week • Address unresolved and open issues to facilitate running simulations adhering to the methodology developed by the perf adhoc committee • Finalize plans for Phase I of simulations and have participants start simulations Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  9. Progress and Status Report • Presentations and discussions held Monday morning, Monday evening and Wed evening • Closed on many of the general performance metrics and scenarios • Arrived to agreement on details of initial simulation scenarios (Phase I) Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  10. Decisions made on Monday • Document describing methodology and framework (David James + volunteers) • Phase I of simulations • Starts now • Results in May and July • No CoS • No TCP Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  11. Decisions made on Monday ... • Phase II of simulations • Start discussions of Phase II details in May 2001 • Start simulations in July 2001 • Results in Sept and Nov • Add CoS • Add TCP Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  12. Resolved Issues • Use of different modeling tools • Not considered to be a big problem • May even be an advantage (?) Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  13. Resolved Issues • Define the RPR MAC/PHY interface model • Architectural/behavioral abstractions needed for each RPR proposal • Understand the effect of various architectural aspects instead of various vendor implementations • Develop a reference model - Harry Peng Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  14. Resolved Issues for Phase I • Ring overload: continuous supply of packets • Hubbing: • All nodes send and receive to/from a common node on the ring • Random: • Source/dest pairs: uniformly distributed • No need to run the ring underloaded (?) Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  15. Open Issues • Availability of models from various vendors • ETE delay: From where to where? Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  16. Suggestions Made • Comparison of RPR with SONET • Should we model/check the ordering of packets? • In normal mode • In protection mode • Ingress/Egress buffer size: 100 ms • Should we make it 2*RTT? Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  17. Phase I Simulation Scenarios • No upper layer protocol • No staggering of inputs • Test Basic Ring Parameters: • Ring Performance • Congestion Control • Fairness Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  18. Ring Performance • Metrics: • Link utilization under heavy loads • Flow control overhead • Global throughput Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  19. Congestion Control • Metrics: • Throughput in the presence of congestion • Per class • Per node • Per conversation (or flow) Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  20. Fairness • Metrics: • Throughput and end-to-end packet delay and jitter: • Per class • Per node • Per conversation (or flow) • Need scenarios that demonstrate fairness in overload conditions Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  21. Suggested Starting Configuration • Dual Ring • 16 nodes • Ring running under capacity and well as over capacity (overload) • Ring circumference (100Km, 1000Km)? • Ring rate: 10G Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  22. Suggested Starting Applications • Hub application • 50% of the traffic is generated by all nodes and flows to the hub node (let’s say node #15) • 50% of the traffic is generated by the hub node and flows to all the other nodes Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  23. Suggested Starting Applications ... • Random source/destination pairs • Would demonstrate spatial reuse effect better than hub application Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  24. Suggested Traffic Characteristics • Packet size distributions (probabilistic): • Trimodal • (60% 64B, 20% 512B, 20% 1518B) • Quadmodal (?) • (50% 64B, 15% 512B, 15% 1518B, 20% 9K) • Committed rate per node • 30% of ring capacity / # nodes • 60% of ring capacity / # nodes Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  25. Suggested Simulation output results • Throughput • ETE delay • Jitter (99.9th percentile of delays) • Should we use CDF’s? • For all output results: • Show curves and numbers • Per node, per class, per conversation Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head

  26. Next steps and Discussions Performance Adhoc Committee IEEE 802.17 - Plenary Meeting - Hilton Head
