31、 be used for evaluating the performance of IP streams. The focus is on packet delay, delay variation, and loss. IP streams from any type of network device can be evaluated using this model. Emphasis is given to the fact that manufacturers of communications equipment and service providers are interes

32、ted in a specification that accurately models the IP network characteristics that determine performance. Evaluators desire a definitive set of simple tests that properly measure the performance of communications devices from various manufacturers. Therefore, the objective of this Recommendation is t

33、o define an application-independent model (e.g., data, voice, voiceband data, and video) that is representative of IP networks, that can be simulated at reasonable complexity, and that facilitates practical evaluation times. The IP network model presented herein represents a snapshot of actual netwo

34、rk data provided by anonymous IP service providers and IP network equipment manufacturers in the 2010 timeframe, and will continue to evolve as more statistical information becomes available and as the IP network evolves.

35、del for Evaluating Multimedia Transmission Performance Over the Internet Protocol 1 Scope This revision to the Standard defines managed IPTV, IPTV and VoIP stream for Well Managed, Partially Managed and Un-Managed Network conditions. It also defines the remaining residual unmanaged bandwidth (Intern

36、et Services) which are typically used for TCP applications. The main difference between this revision and the previous revision is that this version is a Layer 4 (TCP) aware network model that can be used to evaluate TCP traffic. This revision of the Recommendation utilizes the publicly available ns

37、-3 network simulator which incorporates layer 4 TCP models. It allows more accurate characterization of bandwidth and delay for networks that carry TCP traffic because congestion causes TCP streams to back off and use less network bandwidth. The model is limited in that it is based on a single (Cubi

38、c) TCP flow. Different TCP stacks have different behaviors. however, the macroscopic behavior of TCP flows should be similar. This Standard1 is broadly applicable to the evaluation of any equipment that terminates or routes trafficusing the Internet Protocol. This Standard can also be used to evalua

39、te media streams or other protocols carried over IP networks. Examples of the types of equipment that can be evaluated using this model include: IP-connected endpoints: IP network devices (such as: user agents, call agents, media servers, media gateways,application servers, routers, switches, etc.);

40、 IP video (IPTV, video conferencing, telepresence, etc.); IP phones (including soft phones); IAF (Internet-aware fax). IP/TCP connected endpoints:- Peer-to-peer - HTTP - Adaptive bit-rate video PSTN-connected devices through IP gateways: POTS through voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways; ITU-T T.38 facsimi

41、le devices and gateways; ITU-T V.150.1 and ITU-T V.152 (voiceband data, VBD) modem-over-IP gateways; TIA-1001 and ITU-T V.151 textphone-over-IP gateways.The IP network model can be used in two ways: to test an IP stream under simulated network conditions; to test an IP stream in real time using hard

42、ware emulation of the network model. 1 This Recommendation includes an electronic attachment containing the discrete event simulator source code, input packet capture files of interfering traffic, standard test cases and the simulator output. ANSI/TIA-921-C 2 The IP network model can be used to stud

43、y and to understand: the interaction of different traffic mixes; the effects of QoS and queuing on different types of traffic; packet delay variation and packet loss. Whether in software simulation or real-time hardware emulation, users can select from several test cases specified in this Standard.

44、Users can optionally define their own test cases. This model has the following limitations: Some VoIP networks may utilize PSTN at one or both ends of the connection through a media gateway. This model only addresses the IP portion of the network and does not address the PSTN portion of the end-to-e

45、nd connection. The network model represented in this Standard does not model all possible connections that can be encountered between devices. This Standard includes GPON and DSL access technologies. Characteristics of other access technologies such as CATV and wireless are for further study. Abnorm

46、al events such as link failures and route flaps (and the packet reordering that such events can cause) are not included in this Standard. The standard test cases use streams of interfering traffic that were captured on live networks. While realistic, they are still just examples; users could substit

47、ute their own files of interfering traffic. The LAN-to-LAN test cases of ITU-T G.1050 are now modelled as two cascaded ITU-T G.1050 core-to-LAN segments. See clause 6.3. The IP network model presented herein is based on an informal survey of anonymous IP service providers and IP network equipment ma

48、nufacturers in the 2010 timeframe and will continue to evolve as more statistical information becomes available and as the IP network evolves. The most significant limitation of the previous edition of the model was that the best effort traffic (e.g. HTTP) is injected from a pcap file and does not r

49、eact to congestion (as TCP normally would). As a result, the packet loss and delay statistics were somewhat higher than expected. To address this limitation, the best effort traffic that was previously injected from a pcap file has been replaced by a single TCP flow using iPerf. The specific characteristics of the iPerf flow depend on the specific TCP congestion control algorithm, but gene
