Occasionally measured in bytes per second –If so, written as Bps, rather than bps –Usually seen only in file downloads

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 1-27 1-10: Transmission Speed Writing Transmission Speeds in Proper Form –The rule for writing speeds (and metric numbers in general) in proper form is that there should be 1 to 3 places before the decimal point –23.72 Mbps is correct (2 places before the decimal point) –2,300 Mbps has four places before the decimal point, so it should be rewritten as 2.3 Gbps (1 place) –0.5 Mbps has zero places to the left of the decimal point. It should be written as 500 kbps (3 places) Leading zeros do not count 3

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 1-37 1-13: Other Quality-of-Service Metrics Latency and Jitter –Latency Delivery delay, measured in milliseconds –For instance, 250 ms is a quarter of a second Bad for real-time applications –Voice and video –Network control messages

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 1-38 1-13: Other Quality-of-Service Metrics Latency and Jitter –Jitter Variation in latency between successive packets Makes voice sound jittery Figure 1-14

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 1-39 1-13: Other Quality-of-Service Metrics Service Level Agreements –Customers want guarantees for performance –Provider pays penalties if the network does not meet its service metrics guarantees –Often specified on a percentage basis At least 100 Mbps 99.5% of the time To guarantee this speed 100% of the time would be impossible, and even 99.99% would be far more expensive

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 1-40 1-13: Other Quality-of-Service Metrics Service Level Agreements –Specify a worst case –Speed SLAs Low speed is the worst case So an SLA would guarantee a lowest speed that would be delivered E.g., no worse than 1 Mbps) Customer would like higher speeds But wants no less than 1 Mbps

© 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 1-41 1-13: Other Quality-of-Service Metrics Service Level Agreements –Latency SLAs Would an SLA specify a lowest latency or a highest latency? Ask yourself, “Which is worse: large latency or small latency?” The answer: Large latency is worse So specify a maximum latency No more than 100 ms 99% of the time
