1. 75 th IETF, Stockholm, Sweden July 26-31, 2009 BMWG SIP Benchmarking BMWG, Monday July 27, 2009 Scott Poretsky Carol Davids Vijay K. Gurbani

2. Required Document Updates 1.Add REGISTRATION and IM specific terms as needed 2.Remove Packet Loss from IM and Registration Rate test case 3.Add option for AUTH Challenge in Meth and update Session Attempt Failure definition in Term to allow 401 and 407 when AUTH is used. 4.Session Attempt Failure definition should use the Establishment Threshold Time term 5.Add number of endpoints for forking option and establish an upper bound to the response time 6.Add codec as a media parameter since this could impact setup rate 2 IETF 75 BMWG

3. Required Document Reviews 1.Review “Reporting Format” to ensure it is complete 2.Assess alignment with PMOL end-to-end SIP benchmarking work 3.Ensure SIP Overload is sufficiently covered in the methodology while providing overload mechanism-agnostic method(s) to observe and measure the overload condition (as requested by SIPPING) IETF 75 BMWG3

4. Reporting Format (Current)‏ Test Setup SIP Transport Protocol = ____________________ Session Attempt Rate = _____________________ IS Media Attempt Rate = ____________________ Total Sessions Attempted = __________________ Media Streams Per Session = ________________ Associated Media Protocol = _________________ Media Packet Size = ________________________ Media Offered Load = _______________________ Media Session Hold Time = __________________ Establishment Threshold Time = _______________ Loop Detecting Option = _____________________ Forking Option = ___________________________ 4 Benchmarks for IS Session Capacity = __________________________ Session Overload Capacity = __________________ Session Establishment Rate = _________________ Session Establishment Performance = __________ Session Attempt Delay = _____________________ Session Disconnect Delay = __________________ Benchmarks for NS IM Rate = _______________________________ Registration Rate = _________________________ IETF 74 BMWG

5. Alignment with PMOL IETF 75 BMWG5 We set out to determine if the measurements in the BMWG metrics draft can be used to predict measurements made using the metrics defined in the PMOL end-to-end performance draft. We conclude that the answer is “No.” BMWG takes individual core elements and stresses them to the point of failure. Its metrics describe the session attempt rates that cause failure of core elements. PMOL metrics describe the delays between signaling messages, the duration of sessions and the percent of session attempt failures to session attempts. The next two pages contain examples of the divergence of the two sets of metrics.

6. Examples IETF 75 BMWG6 1. Ineffective Session Attempts The appearance of an “Ineffective Session Attempt” (ISA) as defined in PMOL, triggers the end of a test cycle in BMWG. PMOL counts ISAs, since PMOL is interested in the end-to-end experience. BMWG stops the test since it has tested to failure. 2. Session Attempts PMOL does not define a session attempt rate. It does define session attempt delays. This is because PMOL is interested in the end-to-end performance of a session. The BMWG draft defines a session attempt rate as a parameter of test. This is because a metric of interest is the rate at which the first “Ineffective Session Attempt” occurs.

7. Alignment with PMOL IETF 75 BMWG7 Session Establishment Ratio vs. Session Attempt Rate The PMOL metric SER is the percent of session attempts that are not redirected and that are answered. The BMWG Session Attempt Rate is a parameter of the test. It is the number of sessions that the Emulated Agent attempts to establish with the DUT/SUT over a specified time interval. The next pages show the comparison of PMOL metrics with BMWG parameters of test as well as the comparison of PMOL metrics with BMWG metrics.

8. PMOL Metrics vs BMWG Parameters of Test PMOL metrics Registration request delay Session request delay Session disconnect delay Session duration time Hops per request Session establishment ratio Session defects ratio Ineffective session attempts Session disconnect failures Session completion ratio IETF 75 BMWG8 BMWG parameters Session attempt rate IS media attempt rate Establishment threshold time Media Packet size Media Offered Load Media Session Hold Time Loop detection and forking options

9. PMOL Metrics vs BMWG Parameters of Test PMOL Session establishment ratio (SER) – a metric –(# of INVITE Requests w/ associated 200 OK) / ((Total # of INVITE Requests)-(# of INVITE Requests w/ 3XX Response)) x 100 (The percent of session attempts that are not redirected and that are answered.) Ineffective session attempts (ISA) – a metric –Ineffective session attempts occur when a proxy or agent internally releases a setup request with a failed or overloaded condition. BMWG Session Attempt Rate – a parameter of test –The number of sessions that the Emulated Agent attempts to establish with the DUT/SUT over a specified time interval. IS Media Attempt Rate – a parameter of test –Configuration on the Emulated Agent for number of INVITE- Initiated sessions with Associated Media to be established at the DUT per continuous one- second time intervals.

10. PMOL metrics vs. BMWG metrics PMOL metrics Registration request delay Session request delay Session disconnect delay Session duration time Hops per request Session establishment ratio Session defects ratio Ineffective session attempts Session disconnect failures Session completion ration IETF 75 BMWG10 BMWG metrics Registration rate Session establishment rate Session capacity Session overload capacity Session establishment performance Session attempt delay IM rate

11. PMOL Session establishment ratio (SER) – a metric –(# of INVITE Requests w/ associated 200 OK) / ((Total # of INVITE Requests)-(# of INVITE Requests w/ 3XX Response)) x 100 BMWG Session Establishment Rate – a metric –The maximum average rate at which the DUT/SUT can successfully establish sessions. Session Establishment Performance – a metric –The percent of Session Attempts that become Established Sessions over the duration of a benchmarking test. IETF 75 BMWG11 PMOL metrics vs. BMWG metrics

12. PMOL Session request delay (SRD) – a metric –Time of Status Indicative Response minus Time of INVITE BMWG Session Attempt Delay – a metric –The average time measured at the Emulated Agent for a Session Attempt to result in an Established Session. IETF 75 BMWG12 PMOL metrics vs. BMWG metrics
