A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: A One-way Active Measurement Protocol Requirements
	Author(s)	: S. Shalunov, B. Teitelbaum
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-reqs-01.txt
	Pages		: 9
	Date		: 30-Nov-01
	
With growing availability of good time sources to network nodes, it
becomes increasingly possible to measure one-way IP performance
metrics with high precision.  To do so in an interoperable manner, a
common protocol for such measurements is required.  This document
specifies requirements for a one-way active measurement protocol
(OWAMP) standard.  The protocol can measure one-way delay, as well as
other unidirectional characteristics, such as one-way loss.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

Please elaborate.  I don't understand this one-liner.  Do you mean we
should use general packet templates, TCP packets, separate IP protocol
packets as IPMP does, or something else?

Separate protocol number, in my opinion, won't do it.  It contradicts
requirement of section 6.2 (and you can't do it efficiently in
userspace).

Being able to do TCP would be nice; this is not excluded by the
requirement.  Not that we know how to do TCP without ripping out TCP
stack from the kernel and replacing it with something instrumented
even more heavily than, say, Web100, really.  (For the inbound
traffic, there's the timestamps option, too.)

I'm just wondering if allowing UDP as the transport protocol is a
necessary requirement.

As you point out, there are multiple protocol types that can be used in
conducting one-way active measurements (the OWAMP-Test).

> Separate protocol number, in my opinion, won't do it.  It contradicts

but i'm not suggesting that (1).

It's not excluded by the requirements specification, but my reading of the
specification is that you should have a UDP implementation of the
OWAMP-Test protocol too.  Section 4.6 spends some time discussing the use
of other protocol types.

More-over, I'm wondering if the requirements specification is designed
specifically for the OWAMP protocol draft or whether I should be able to
apply the requirements draft to other one-way active measurement protocols
as well.

----

(1) you can do `it' efficiently in kernel space though, and section 6.3 of
    rfc2330 touches briefly on this.
    if you really wanted to do it efficiently in user-space
    (modifications to raw sockets or something like that)
    you could.

But we need to have a lowest common denominator that works on maximum
number of machines, across domain boundaries, etc.  UDP's not ideal.
But it'll give us ability to conduct some measurements.  We should
make their domain of applicability as large as possible.

Yes.

Yes, or rather difficulties we'd need to overcome to do more than UDP,
essentially.

draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-reqs-01.txt covers OWAMP requirements only.
It should not be read as constraining your work on IPMP in any way.

I agree with this.  What I would like to see is some sort of "switch" that
allows you to use IPMP or OWAMP, use the former if everybody agrees with
the measurement and the latter if there is benefit in hiding the packets.
This is probably best done in the control plane.

Yes, but why don't you put in a 1 line reference to 2330 then, instead of
repeating various sections?

I guess that's not unreasonable (but we do need to avoid featuritis in
general).  This brings up the next question:

Is IPMP really the right way to do that or would, perhaps, well-known
port numbers have some advantages?

You're not going to run OWAMP-Control in kernel space.  The
co-ordination between kernel and user land on the measurement stations
could quickly become a hassle with OWAMP-Control/IPMP: the amount of
state to hold is potentially large.

Please explain to me what a "management interface" is then.  I thought we
had 2 layers: OWAM-control and OWAMP-test, where the former controls the
measurements and the latter does the measurement and this seems to cover
everything (at least to me).


Related: reading all the mails in the various threads on this, i think we
are going nowhere and could really benefit from a discussion by voice next
week.

There is no issue of co-ordination to consider that I can think of.

The kernel stamps the packets and passes them to userland applications.

I have plans to do an implementation of OWAMP-Control/IPMP as part of my
research in the near future.

IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm)
Wednesday, December 12 at 13:00 - 14:00
====================================
CHAIRS: Merike Kaeo <kaeo@merike.com>
        Matt Zekauskas <matt@advanced.org>

AGENDA:

1. Agenda bashing (<= 5 min)

2. Summarizing latest radical revision of npmps draft as per the I-D (10 min)
     -- Al Morton acmorton@att.com

     http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ippm-npmps-05.txt

     The formatting of the submitted version is "not nice"; a version
     with "more standard" formatting, and believed to be otherwise identical,
     is available from
     http://www.advanced.org/IPPM/docs/draft-ietf-ippm-npmps-05p.txt


3. Practical experience with the IPDV draft  (15 min)
     -- Henk Uijterwaal

     This item will discuss issues relating to the draft arising from
     an implementation.  It particularly relates to the previous (technically
     now-expired) version of the draft, which is available from
     http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ippm-ipdv-07.txt
      and
     http://www.advanced.org/IPPM/docs/draft-ietf-ippm-ipdv-07.txt

     In addtion, note that a newer version was submitted, but unfortunately
     not in time before the cutoff.  That version will appear soon after
     this meeting.  It was sent to the mailing list, and also appears at
     http://www.advanced.org/IPPM/docs/draft-ietf-ippm-ipdv-08.txt
      
4. One-way Active Measurements Protocol Requirements (15 min)
     -- Stanislav Shalunov

     http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-reqs-01.txt
      see also
     http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-03.txt

5. IPPM metric management needs (10 min)
     -- Emile STEPHAN

     In particular, we'd like to address issues raised by this draft and
     it's relationship to the protocol requirements draft above.
     http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-stephan-ippm-mgmt-reqs-00.txt
       see also

1 hour for this meeting looks extremely short to me.  In particular #5
needs a lot of discussion (like what are these drafts trying to
accomplish, why are they needed, relation between the various blocks,
etc), followed by a discussion which WG is going to do what.

I much rather see an hour or two scheduled for this, and cut the meeting
short if we run out of material, than the current 30 minutes on Monday, 10
on Wednesday which (probably) ends up in another endless discussion going
nowhere on the list.

Hi all,

Just my 2 (euro)cents....

one of the jobs of ippm is (as the charter expresses it) promoting the
application of the metrics. Now, these metrics have been popping up in a
variety of places (e.g. rmon, tewg) and i can assure you that there are
other applications on their way. 

These applications have different requirements than the "new inter
administrative domain ping" the current triplet owdp-test, owdp-control,
owdp-mgmt is mainly aiming at. The only thing which is, still to my
humble opinion, a necessity is the owdp-test (especially if equipment
vendors would put this in their boxes). owdp-control, owdp-mgmt are just
one way of using it, and might be replaced by other ways of control
(which is forseen in the reqm draft).

Conclusion: neither owdp-control/owdp-mgmt are strictly required for
being able to get interoperability between boxes. As with other
management functionalities like CLI, SNMP, COPS or psychic control,
might be be put in place. Given this, there are multiple approaches
possible for ippm:

 1. we don't care, let the different approaches be spread over their
appropriate working groups (with sending a single fyi message to the
ippm mailinglist)
 2. we care but nothing more: we let ippm be a forum where these
approaches can be 'published' as a bcp and make sure they don't conflict
with the metrics requirements
 3. we foster them

i don't have a strong opinion on which option to choose, but it should
be decided asap, before the current mix between 1 and 3 gets out of hand
(and to reduce the number of endless discussions on it).  

Cheers (and have a succesful 1h10m in SLC),
Steven

Great (hey, I'm implementing these metrics).

This is what I think we should try to accomplish.  At an abstract level,
we need:

 1. Metrics and measurement devices that implement them,
 2. Protocol(s) that allows measurements between different
    implementations,
 3. A control mechanism that allows a user from any other area to do a
    measurement
 4. A reporting protocol that returns the result to the user.

So-far, IPPM has been doing (1) and we started on (2) and (3) a year or so
ago.  (4) is still open.  At the moment, other groups (RMON, TE, ...)
started to work on (3) and (4), which clearly overlaps with the work in
IPPM.

I think we should try to coordinate these efforts and keep the number of
control and report mechanisms to preferably 1 or at least a small number.

This basically why I think we need to have a longer discussion with RMON
(etc) to see what they need, which building blocks are needed and which
group is going to define what, before things start to diverge.

If we don't do this now, then we might as well forget about (2) and have
various implementations tuned towards specific users of the metrics (with
all disadvantages of that approach).

I've been following TEWG and Matt has been following RMON.....who else that 
you know of is working on (3) and (4)?  Agreed that coordination is 
required on all fronts - hope to come to some consensus in SLC albeit the 
time limitation.

Hi
I'm doing a research about IP QoS for VoIP application, especially regarding
the influence of bursty vs. random packet  loss and its effect on perceived
quality.
Therefore I'm interested in definitions of 'loss burstiness'. Are there any
ideas other than those mentioned in "One-way Loss Pattern Sample Metrics"? 
The 'm out of n' metrics was mentioned, but not in details. Can anyone
explain more about this metrics? 

Best Regards
Zlatokrilov Haim

Hello,
 
you could also take a look at ETSI EP TIPHON document TS 101 329-5 at
http://www.etsi.org/tiphon <http://www.etsi.org/tiphon> . Effect of
burstiness and means of measuring that have been addressed there.

I agree strongly here. Having a uniform control and reporting mechanism
makes life a great deal easier. I think there is a lot to be gained from
talking to the RMON group -- we don't want to reimplement a lot of stuff
they have already thought about in slightly different contexts.

so, you got the easy job:). You might want to check out

for another measurement-related application.

Hi,
 
some further comments about loss correlations. Computing loss correlations
is a matter of metrics, but making a direct link between end user
experienced and packet loss correlation is a tougher problem in general. For
example, it depends on the codec used. Also, the effect of packet losses
depend on where it occurs with respect to sentence and so on. Perhaps Ari or
some other audio coding guy can elaborate on this, but I'll just mention
that I gave a presentation about one way of linking MOS and network-level
QoS at IPPM slot at San Diego meeting one year ago. I guess the contribution
should be linked to IETF proceedings.

'bursty loss' metricsThe algorithm described in TS  101 329-5 (VQmon) is
described in an IPtel 2001 paper and in a number of standards
contributions - these are collected together on
(http://www.telchemy.com/techref.html).

The key issues to consider when looking at burst packet loss effects are:-

(i) Isolated lost packets are generally masked by packet loss concealment
algorithms

(ii) Periods of high packet loss are generally more noticeable to the
listener

(iii) At low average loss rates burst packet loss can sound better as there
are long gaps between bursts

(iv) At high average loss rates burst packet loss generally results in a
lower subjective score

(v) There are "time constants" associated with periods of poor quality, e.g.
the longer a period of poor quality persists then the more annoyed a
listener becomes, after the period of poor quality ends then it takes some
time for the listener to forgive (or forget)

(vi) There appears to be a recency effect which results in lower subjective
scores for calls with bursts of packet loss near the end .. a test by AT&T
showed a reduction in MOS of 0.6 due to this effect.

  Hello,

  you could also take a look at ETSI EP TIPHON document TS 101 329-5 at
http://www.etsi.org/tiphon. Effect of burstiness and means of measuring that
have been addressed there.

    Hi
    I'm doing a research about IP QoS for VoIP application, especially
regarding the influence of bursty vs. random packet  loss and its effect on
perceived quality.

    Therefore I'm interested in definitions of 'loss burstiness'. Are there
any ideas other than those mentioned in "One-way Loss Pattern Sample
Metrics"?

    The 'm out of n' metrics was mentioned, but not in details. Can anyone
explain more about this metrics?

    Best Regards
    Zlatokrilov Haim

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IP Packet Delay Variation Metric for IPPM
	Author(s)	: C. Demichelis, P. Chimento
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ippm-ipdv-08.txt
	Pages		: 20
	Date		: 17-Dec-01
	
This memo refers to a metric for variation in delay of packets across
Internet paths. The metric is based on the difference in the One-Way-
Delay of selected packets. This difference in delay is called 'IP
Packet Delay variation.'
The metric is valid for measurements between two hosts both in the
case that they have synchronized clocks and in the case that they are
not synchronized. We discuss both in this draft.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: Definition of IP Packet Reordering Metric
	Author(s)	: S. Shalunov
	Filename	: draft-shalunov-reordering-definition-00.txt
	Pages		: 4
	Date		: 17-Dec-01
	
Various pieces of network testing equipment currently often report a
characteristic that is referred to as a 'degree (or percentage) of
packet reordering'.  The way this metric is computed is often
undocumented and it differs between vendors.  Having a useful numeric
measure of the degree of packet reordering is important for
applications such as TCP and VoIP on different ends of the spectrum.
However, the metric that makes sense for one application may have no
or little applicability to another.  This document introduces a
definition of reordering metric that is hoped to be applicable to a
number of different applications by parametrizing the metric.

A couple of questions

* How does this metric differ from the one presented by Dale in London?
  And if they are different, what are the pros and cons of this metric
  over Dale's.  And, yes, I realize that this might be a non-trivial
  question but if we define two metrics for the same phenomena, then
  we should have an idea which one should be use when.

* How does this metric deal with losses?
  If 4 out of 5 packets are received, with a packet in the middle lost,
  is this considered no reordering or equivalent to <1,2,4,5,3>?  The
  same goes for time-outs (a packet arrive _after_ the destination
  asking for a retransmit).

This metric is parametrized.  Dale's not.  See section 6 of my draft,
which argues why parametrization is a good thing.  (Different
applications are different and this metric covers a large subset of
the application space.)

This metric is thought to be directly applicable to applications
(e.g., TCP with a fixed dupack threshold, or an interactive video
application with a buffer of some fixed number of packets).

> * How does this metric deal with losses?

Losses aren't counted as any sort of reordering.  So, an application
with a buffer for reordering repair of N buffers will have lost
loss+N-reordering packets.

I don't understand the retransmit question.  This metric maps from the
cartesian product of finite sequences of sequence numbers and
non-negative integers into real numbers.

If we continue with 2 metrics (or drafts), I think it should be stated
somewhere which one covers what (cross-reference plus a bit of text).

In other words, <1,2,4,5> has no reordering?

Yes, that is exactly my problem.

Suppose I have an application that needs ALL the packets.

Case #1: It receives packet 4, 5 and 3, in that order, with minimal delay
between 5 and 3.  My application can now put them in order and wait for
packet 6.

Case #2: It receives packets 4 and 5, followed by nothing.  After a while,
my application will (presumably) time-out and ask for packet to be resend.
Now 3 arrives.

In both cases, the reordering metric sees this as <1,2,4,5,3> and gives
the same result.  However, the performance of the setup in case 1 will be
different from case 2.

We can accept this, but then we have to give a second number to express
the difference between the 2 cases, or we can modify the metric.

That's correct, it has no N-reordering for any value of N.

If it has a reordering repair buffer of at least 1 packet...

If you were to measure the network with synthetic traffic (and not ask
for retransmits), this would show up as loss, not as reordering.  In
fact, the network reordered nothing in this case, but simply lost a
single packet.

However, you raise a valid point:  Not only the number of packets by
which a packet is delayed matters, but, for some applications, other
things matter as well.  I'm thinking about other metrics that would
cover that.

No, packets are numbered *as they are sent*.  For the purposes of
N-reordering, in the second case, what I see is <1, 2, 4, 5, 6> (3 is
lost, no N-reordering for any value of N).
