IP Performance Specifications -Progress and Next Steps July 11, 2002 Al Morton
End-to-End IP Network Performance • Growth of real-time/CBR application use on IP nets • VoIP, Multi-Media Conferencing, Streaming... • New applications require stricter performance
New RFCs Loss Patterns Bulk Transfer Capacity Current I-Ds Packet Reordering Active Meas. Protocol Req. IPPM MIB Newly Chartered Work on Link Bandwidth Capacity Performance Objectives Y.1541 (May 2002), six QoS Classes Suggest QoS Signaling Support/Methods Parameter Revisions Y.1540 (Nov 2002) “other” Packet Transfer MPLS? Evolution of IPPM and Question 6/13
Y.1541 "Provisional IP QoS Classes” • Y.1221-based Traffic Contracts • IP transfer capabilities include: the service model, traffic descriptor, conformance definition and any QOS commitments. • Transfer Capabilities include Dedicated Bandwidth, Statistical Bandwidth, and Best Effort.

Next Steps • Define Process and Methods to ACHIEVE e-e Objectives • Begin with Single networks and Static Agreements • Static, with Two or Three Networks • difficult with more networks (see draft M.2301) • Build-in Flexibility (not too much) • Network to Network Signaling for QoS • In the “Oracle” model, each network has an entity with specific knowledge and control capabilities. These entities use a signaling protocol to communicate efficiently across network boundaries (accept/reject/modify requests). • Standardize Delay Variation Definitions • Revisit IP Service Availability Function Definition • Wide range of sensitivities across user applications
