13. Requirements Detail • Simple Wireless Setup • Basic Routing Behavior • Video-Capable Requirements • Bootstrapping, Discovery,and Diagnostics • Quality Streaming Experiences • IPv6 Transition Technology Support

14. Simple Wireless SetupFast, Secure wireless and device setup Today’s Wi-Fi experience problems • Inconsistent and incompatible setup experiences • Custom web interfaces exist for different devices • Custom device management applications • Security is not enabled by default • Most home networks do not have security enabled • Wireless settings can not be transferredin a easy and secured fashion • Too much manual configuration • Setup difficulty → poor user experienceand product returns

15. Simple Wireless Setup Windows XP and Windows Vista USB Flash Drive Windows Vista Ethernet Ethernet Wi-Fi USB

16. Basic Routing BehaviorSeamless internet connectivity and sessions:Wired router requirements • Strategy: Build on Xbox Liverequirements, certified products • NAT typeCone NAT required • UDP TestCan packets from multiple IP addressestraverse through device’s NAT implementation • ICMPProper response to ICMP port-unreachable packets • MTUSupport MTU size? (max 1365) • PortsAbility to download packets on ports 80 and 3074 • DHCPIs the same IP received; Lease duration • Session policyDoes port association stay openwhen only “keep alive” traffic is present • TCP FIN responseIs the socket associationkept even after internal client sends a TCP FIN

17. Video-Capable Requirements 1) Overall • Wi-Fi Dual-band simultaneous operation 802.11a AND 802.11g (and 802.11n when ratified) • Wi-Fi WPA-Personal, WPA-2-Personal(Note WPA2-Personal is mandatoryas of March 2006) • Wi-Fi WMM • DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certification 2) TV UI • If the router or AP has an HTML web-based user interface, it must be usable on a standard-definition TV output – 640x480i. Font size must be16px or greater

18. Video-Capable Requirements 3) Range – HD Video for 1 hour at 30 feetand two obstacles • Each radio must be able to transmit a simulated high-definition video stream (20 – 22 Mbps) on UDP and TCP at range for one hour with less than 1% packet loss per second at a range up to 30 indoor feet with two walls or obstacles 4) Long-term Usage – HD Video for 8 hours • Each radio must be able to transmit a simulated high-definition video stream (20 – 22 Mbps)on UDP and TCP at 22 Mbps for eight hours with less than 1% packet loss per second at a rangeof five feet with no obstacles

19. Video-Capable Requirements 5) Reliability – HD Video and Two Internet Surfers 1 hour • Each radio must be able to transmit a simulated high-definition video stream (22 – 20 Mbps) on UDP and TCP for one hour with less than 2% packet loss per second while two additional wireless stations are connected to the wireless router simulating typical internet usage 6) Heavy Load – Maximum throughput all interfaces • Each radio and each wired interface must be ableto simultaneously transmit at maximum capacityon UDP for one hour with less than 1% packet loss per 10 seconds at a range of 5 feet with no obstacles. The streams will be run simultaneously to simulate a heavy load

20. Bootstrapping, Discovery, And DiagnosticsLink Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) • Topology Discovery: KeyWindows Vistadiagnostic technology • Locates connectivity failures • Provides baseline network image • No dependenceon IP connectivity • NID devices provide following data • Discover collocated devices(AP, Bridge, Modem) • Brand, model, firmware of RG • Representative device graphic • Ensures fewer support calls • Users can self-remediate • Ensures ‘wrong device’ isn’t blamed for problem!

22. Quality Streaming Experiences • Strategy: Baseline consistency with DLNA guidance • Common (Wired / Wireless Router and WLAN AP) • Support IEEE 802.1Q UserPriority tag on 802.3 LAN interfaces • Support IEEE 802.1D Annex G for priority mapping • Support RFC2474, Differentiated Services field (DS) • Implement LLTD Responder with QoS extensions • Packets received on 802.3 LAN interface and destinedfor an 802.3 or 802.11 LAN interface • Support both DSCP and IEEE 802.1Q User Prioritytag for packet prioritization • Do not modify or remove DSCP or IEEE 802.1Q UserPriority tag • Tolerate (at minimum) forwarding packets withIEEE 802.1Q priority tag (do not drop tagged packets) • IEEE 802.1Q VlanId is out of scope
