TEMU Outline Introduction Architecture of EuQoS MMS MMS for supporting trials MMS for supporting EuQoS system functions Exemplary deployment Summary

TEMU 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 provide QoS (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 Therefore, development of effective Monitoring and Measurement System (MMS) is a crucial part of a system design

TEMU Introduction (2) What is EuQoS? 6FR EU project: Objective: to develop solution for providing end-to-end QoS in multidomain, heterogeneous network 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 EuQoS Approach

TEMU 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

TEMU Architecture of EuQoS MMS (2) Intra-domain service in AS 1 Inter-domain service AS 1 -AS 2 Intra-domain service in AS 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

TEMU Architecture of EuQoS MMS (3) Reference location of MPs: In core network: MP X a – input interface of the ingress border router MP X b – entrance to the queue of output interface of the ingress border router MP X c – input interface of the egress border router. MP X d – entrance to the queue on the output interface of the egress border router In access network: MP X t – at IP interface of the user terminal

TEMU 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

TEMU 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 IPDV: IP Packet Delay Variation (IETF IPPM) OWD: One Way Delay

TEMU 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
