(4) 79th IETF – IPPM WG IANA IPPM metrics registry The IPPM WG is reconsidering its need – Is it used? What is missing? – Is it needed? Why is it needed? Current usage is very limited – Provide only an identifier per metrics – Limited to human (RFP…); – MIB modules;

(5) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Inputs received

(6) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Inputs from the inside of IETF The registry should be obsoleted or More standardization is needed – NMS needs more than an identifier – Registry language should be understandable by all the NM community (i.e. parsable by XML based NM syst) – Results exported should be simple (1 id, 1 result, 1 unit) – Units should be explicitly specified – Should carry metrics options

(7) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Inputs from collaborative projects App or ISP ISP – The projects ETICS and Envision are working on uses cases where application and infrastructure entities require network performance information from optimizing resources consumption and for improving the QoE and the QoS served to customers.

(8) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Inputs from collaborative projects – Networks and Applications need to optimize their resources to face the increase of the among of multimedia contents to distribute – They are in relation with numerous other applications and networks. – The exchange of Network performance information is a key aspect. – They don't care on the methodology: active, passive end-to-end and passive on-the-path measures… – They are looking for various statistics of delay, jitter, packet Lost and throughput – An application looking for one statistic (e.g. OneWayDelay minimum) from several ISPs accepts this statistic to be computed by differently in each ISP (direct measure stat, composition, division…)

(9) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Analysis of the IPPM metrics In this context

(10) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Siblings Metrics Sibling metrics are metrics which use different but very close methods to capture exactly the same dimension. E.g.: – OneWayDelayMinimum ietfOneWayDelayMinimum ietfFiniteOneWayDelayMinimum ietfCompositeOneWayDelayMinimum – OneWayPktLossStream ietfOneWayPktLossPoissonStream ietfSegmentPacketLossStream

(11) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Siblings Metrics One-way-delay between 2 points may be given by One way delay singleton, Division of a One way delay, One way delay resulting of a composition of delays These metrics results are interchangeable The extension of the registry should describe the siblings metrics – For simplifying the reporting to end-user – To clarify the set of metrics usable for composition

(12) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Metric Flavor Metric flavor concept – Profiling a metric One metric definition may have several flavor – i.e. traffic generation laws, statistics – option parameters – results parameters … – Gathering sibling definitions in one flavor for reporting For composition

(13) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Metric Reporting Reporting metrics must be simplified. – They are 4 definitions of One-way-delay singletons Why should those metrics results be perceived as different ? How to describe that they are very close ? Example of a metric flavor which gathers 4 metrics: ietfReportingOneWayDelay identifier84 description"OneWayDelay singleton" originMetricietfOneWayDelay originMetricietfOneWayPeriodicDelay originMetricietfFiniteOneWayDelay originMetricietfSpatialOneWayDelay outputCardinality1 outputUnitmillisecond

(14) 79th IETF – IPPM WG IPPM metrics statistics Statistics definitions are based on 'Stream' metrics Siblings metrics should have the same set of statistics (mean, average, median, peak… ). In fact statistics definitions are missing in several RFCs: – One-Way-Delay Minimum example: not defined in the "spatial and multicast" document (RFC5644) Defined in "Composition of Metrics" RFC to be vey soon … The extension of the registry should provide siblings metrics with the same set of statistics.

(15) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Harmonize statistics definitions Statistics are missing in several RFCs. – One-Way-Delay Minimum example: not defined in Segment metrics RFC Defined in Spatial Composition of Metrics RFCtoBe … 'Streams' metrics are always defined. A flavor statistic may be defined on the top of a set of sibling 'Streams'. Example OneWayDelayMinimum identifier85 description"Computed on one of the following stream according to the One-Way Delay Minimum definitions of RFC2679 and the framework of RFC2330" AggregateMetricietfFiniteOneWayDelayStream AggregateMetric ietfSegmentOneWayDelayStream AggregateMetric ietfOneWayDelayPoissonStream AggregateMetric ietfOneWayDelayPeriodicStream outputCardinality1 outputUnitmillisecond

(16) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Long-term MRTG-like reporting More standardization (unit & period) for LT metrics (examples): ietfOneWayDelayMean1mn identifier86 originMetricietfFiniteOneWayDelayMean ObservationPeriod 60 outputCardinality 1 outputUnitmillisecond ietfOneWayDelayMean15mn identifier87 originMetricietfFiniteOneWayDelayMean observationPeriod 900 outputCardinality 1 outputUnitmillisecond ietfOneWayDelayMean1hour identifier88 originMetricietfFiniteOneWayDelayMean observationPeriod 3600 outputCardinality 1 outputUnitmillisecond ietfOneWayDelayMean1day identifier89 originMetricietfFiniteOneWayDelayMean observationPeriod outputCardinality 1 outputUnitmillisecond

(17) 79th IETF – IPPM WG Discussion Adding Metric flavors in the registry to – Define clear LT metrics – Define sibling metrics – Harmonize statistics definitions
