6、luating multimedia transmission performance over Internet Protocol Summary ITU-T Recommendation G.1050 describes a model for evaluating multimedia transmission performance over an IP network. It is a statistical model in which likelihood of occurrence values are assigned to all network elements and

7、impairments. Test results using these statistical models are expressed in terms of network model coverage. Testing to a comprehensive statistical model suggests how communications devices may perform over an IP network in terms of network model coverage. This Recommendation focuses on the impact of

8、impairments on layer 3 performance. 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 interested in a specification that accurately models the IP network characteristics

9、 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 to define a technology-independent model that is representative of the IP net

10、work, that can be simulated at reasonable complexity, and that facilitates practical evaluation times.

22、007) Introduction Previous network transmission model standards for evaluating modem performance (see bibliography) have been statistical models in which likelihood of occurrence (LOO) values were assigned to all network elements and impairments. Test results using these statistical models were expr

23、essed in terms of network model coverage (NMC): the percentage of network connections over which a particular level of performance is achieved. This is an example of a statistical model. Testing to a comprehensive statistical model suggests how communications devices may perform over an IP network i

24、n terms of network model coverage. Unlike the previous models, which focused on physical-layer (layer 1) impairments, this Recommendation focuses on the impact of impairments on Internet Protocol (IP) layer 3 performance. IP streams from any type of network device can be evaluated using this model.

25、Emphasis is given to the fact that manufacturers of communications equipment and service providers are interested 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 performa

26、nce of communications devices from various manufacturers. Therefore, the objective of this Recommendation is to define an application-independent model (e.g., data, voice, voiceband data, video) that is representative of the IP network, that can be simulated at reasonable complexity and that facilit

27、ates practical evaluation times. The IP network model presented herein represents a snapshot of actual network data provided by anonymous IP service providers and IP network equipment manufacturers in the 2007 time-frame and will continue to evolve as more statistical information becomes available a

28、nd as the IP network evolves. In developing this model, certain assumptions have been made based on the best available statistical information. These assumptions are given in Appendix I. The following are parameters and impairments that affect quality of service and IP network performance: Network a

29、rchitecture; Types of access links; QoS controlled edge routing; MTU size; Network faults; Link failure; Route flapping; Reordered packets; Packet loss (frame loss); One-way delay (latency); Variable delays (Jitter); and Background traffic (congestion, bandwidth, utilization, network load, load shar

30、ing). ITU-T Rec. G.1050 (11/2007) 1 ITU-T Recommendation G.1050 Network model for evaluating multimedia transmission performance over Internet Protocol 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies an IP network model and scenarios for evaluating and comparing communications equipment connected over a conve

31、rged wide area network. The IP network model consists of many impairment combinations that are scenario-based and time-varying. IP streams from any type of network device can be evaluated using this model. The test scenarios combine LAN, access and core network elements in a realistic way to create

32、layer 3 IP network impairments that cause packets to experience varying delay or loss. These scenarios are based on actual network data provided by anonymous IP service providers and IP network equipment manufacturers. Examples of the types of equipment that can be evaluated using this model include

33、: IP-connected endpoints: IP network devices (such as: user agents, call agents, media servers, media gateway controllers, gatekeepers, application servers, edge routers, etc.); IP video (IPTV, video conferencing, telepresence, etc.); IP phones (including soft phones); IAF (Internet-aware fax). PSTN

34、-connected devices through IP gateways: POTS through voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways; T.38 facsimile devices and gateways; V.150.1 and V.152 (voiceband data, VBD) modem-over-IP gateways; V.151 textphone-over-IP gateways. The models include parameters that can be used to configure and set up suitable e

35、mulator equipment. This Recommendation includes mandatory requirements, recommendations and options; these are designated by the words “shall“, “should“ and “may“, respectively. Limitations of this model: This IP network model is not intended to represent any specific IP network. Rather, it provides

36、 a range of test scenarios that could represent a wide range of IP network characteristics, such as those experienced in well-managed (QoS-managed), partially-managed (non-QoS) and unmanaged (Internet) networks. Some VoIP networks may utilize PSTN at one or both ends of the connection through a medi

37、a gateway. This model only addresses the IP portion of the network and does not address the PSTN portion of the end-to-end connection. The network models represented in this Recommendation do not model all possible connections that can be encountered between devices. The IP network model presented h

38、erein is based on an informal survey of anonymous IP service providers and IP network equipment manufacturers in the 2007 time-frame and will continue to evolve as more statistical information becomes available and as the IP network evolves. 2 ITU-T Rec.

45、packets, due to congestion, bandwidth limitation or rerouting (delay translated into loss due to implementation) on the network. 3.2 delay: The time required for a packet to traverse the network or a segment of the network (see latency). 3.3 downstream: A transmission from a service provider toward

46、an end user. 3.4 end-to-end network: Pertaining to an entire path from one endpoint to another. Metrics may refer to a single segment (example: core delay) or to the entire path (example: end-to-end network delay). 3.5 E-model: A standard-based (ITU-T G.107, ITU-T G.108) model for planning the trans

47、mission quality of telephone networks. The output of the E-model is a transmission rating factor called the R-Factor. The scale for the R-Factor is between 0 and 100, where 0 is low and 100 is high transmission quality. 3.6 gateway: A network device that acts as an entrance to another network. One f

48、unction is to convert media provided in one type of network to the format required in another type of network. ITU-T Rec. G.1050 (11/2007) 3 For example, a gateway could terminate bearer channels from a switched circuit network (e.g., DS0s) and media streams from a packet network (e.g., RTP streams

49、in an IP network). 3.7 IP network: A network based on the Internet Protocol, a connectionless protocol. 3.8 jitter: Variation in packet delay. 3.9 jitter buffer: A shared data area where packets can be collected, stored and sent to the processor in evenly spaced intervals to improve the end-user experience. 3.10 latency: An expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another (see delay). 3.11 layer 3: The third layer of the International Organi
