5、val of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has bee

6、n reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of American Nati

15、 T1.510-1999, Network Performance Parameters for Dedicated Digital Services for Rates Up to and Including DS3 Specifications.13 Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Definitions 3.1 Abbreviations Auni(b,a): unidirectional availability for INIb INIa; Auni(A,B): unidirectional availability for NIA NIB; Auni(B,

16、A): unidirectional availability for NIB NIA. Auni(A,a): unidirectional availability for NIA INIa; and Auni(a,A): unidirectional availability for INIa NIA. Interactive services are bi-directional in nature and are unusable (i.e., unavailable) if either direction of transport is unavailable. For servi

17、ces that are bi-directional, end-to-end bi-directional service availability is defined as: Abi(AB): bidirectional availability for NIA NIBwhere Abi(AB)= Auni(A,B) Auni(B,A)and is the Intersection operator. Note that bi-directional availability is end-to-end and cannot be allocated. 5.2.2 Determinati

18、on of bidirectional availability There must be some method to determine the periods of time when both directions of a bidirectional service are in the available state. One method of providing this functionality is to require time-stamping of the transitions to available and unavailable states as a n

19、ew feature. Another method is to implement the bidirectional UAS register as specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.784.8Additional methods to assess bidirectional availability are for further study. 8For the title and availability information of this cross-reference, see Annex A ATIS-0100503.2002 8 6

20、Measurements 6.1 Measurement purposes The following measurements and tests are made to verify long-term service performance: a) Acceptance tests: These measurements verify that the value of the performance parameters are within prescribed limits after the completion of a new service installation. Th

21、e measurements for these tests are performed on an out-of-service basis. b) Trouble verification tests: These tests verify the need for maintenance activity, in response to a trouble report. The measurements for these tests are performed on either an in-service or an out-of-service basis. c) Repair

22、verification tests: These tests verify that the values of the performance parameters are within the prescribed limits after completion of a repair activity. The measurements for these tests are generally performed on an out-of-service basis. d) Service monitoring: These measurements verify that the

23、values of the performance parameters are within the prescribed limits. These in-service measurements are performed on a continuous or periodic basis. e) Characterization measurements: These measurements collect data for determining the performance of a specific population (defined by rate, facility

24、type, and other characteristics). These measurements are performed on either an in-service or an out-of-service basis. 6.2 Types of measurements The parameters can be measured in the following ways: a) Inservice measurements: These measurements are performed without disturbing user information trans

25、missions; and b) Out-of-service measurements: These measurements require the service to be made unavailable to the user. 6.3 Performance determination Performance determination is based on the following relationships: a) Z number of intervals of length Q are examined where: 1) Z is an integer value;

26、 and 2) Q is an interval of time or a fixed number of bits corresponding to the event under consideration. c) For each interval Q examined, a determination is made as to whether a threshold value W for the event has been exceeded where W is a threshold of transmission bit or block errors over interv

27、al Q corresponding to the event under consideration; d) Performance for the parameter under consideration is determined by the number of intervals (events) Y, out of Z intervals examined, which cross the threshold W. ATIS-0100503.2002 9 Table 1 shows the relationship of the accuracy events to the in

28、tervals and thresholds.

30、unit of time is 1 second) for SDH sections is different from 30% and typically lower. 6.4 In-service measurement of availability With availability defined in Availability parameters above, the monitoring points should be at INIs and NIs. 6.4.1 Measuring availability between two INIs To measure Avail

31、ability between INIs9, monitoring points are at the INI located at both ends of the transit portion of the transmission path. As shown in Figure 2, each end has two monitoring points: one for transmitting and one for receiving. Four monitoring points are available for measuring unidirectional availa

32、bility performances. Figure 2 Monitoring points for availability between two INIs 9Multiple INIs are possible within the transit portion. The monitoring points shown in Figure 2 are applicable to any pair of INIs. ATIS-0100503.2002 10 Measuring availability from NI-to-NI Similarly, the Availability

33、from NI to NI (see Figure 3), could be measured using test access points at A, B, F, and H. However, in some instances, A, B, F, and H are not accessible to the service provider. For these situations, availability can only be measured if a Far-End Monitoring Capability is supported by the customer p

34、remise equipment. With only monitoring point C, D, E, and G accessible, performance primitives required for availability measurements (e.g., ES, SES, etc.) in the incoming direction are reported to the far-end via special messages embedded within the signal format (see T1.231-1997). Examples include

35、 the far-end block error (FEBE) indicators in SONET and DS3 C-bit applications, and the performance report message (PRM) in DS1-ESF. With such capability built into a transmission signal, part of the monitoring functions (derivation, storage, thresholding, and reporting of performance primitives and

36、 parameters) for transmission performance observed at the far-end can be provided at the near-end.
