6、ormance objectives and procedures for provisioning and maintenance of IP-based networks Summary This Recommendation provides performance objectives and procedures for provisioning and maintenance of IP-based networks. It focuses attention on parameters that significantly affect the quality of servic

7、e perceived by the customer, and the methods of measuring those parameters. These include those parameters that affect delay performance at the application layer. Performance limits for temporary dial-up access links, end-customer owned portions and MPLS networks are not covered by this Recommendati

8、on and are for further study. However, the performance of fixed access links, whose routing does not change, is covered. Source ITU-T Recommendation M.2301 was prepared by ITU-T Study Group 4 (2001-2004) and approved under the WTSA Resolution 1 procedure on 14 July 2002. Keywords Autonomous system,

The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsibl

11、e for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T

12、study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative ba

13、sis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of

14、 this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the

15、date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

21、troduction This Recommendation provides performance objectives and procedures for provisioning and maintenance of IP-based networks owned by different operators. This is regardless of the transport technology supporting the IP network and the higher layers to be implemented over IP. These objectives

22、 include error performance, delay performance and availability. This Recommendation defines the parameters and their associated objectives based on the principles in ITU-T Rec. Y.1540. This Recommendation uses a reference model based on the concept of IP Operator Domains (IPODs) and their interconne

23、cting links. An IPOD consists of one or more Autonomous Systems (ASs) and their interconnecting links. The interconnecting links between IPODs involve a change in jurisdictional responsibility. This Recommendation also provides, in an appendix, guidance on the performance objectives and limits for I

24、P network resources (e.g. routers, subnetworks etc.), which are owned and managed by a single operator. However, the allocation of performance inside an IP network operators domain or network portion, is the responsibility of each operator to ensure the end-to-end performance over their domain or ne

25、twork portion meets the limits given in this Recommendation. ITU-T Rec. Y.1540 provides a general framework for applying these limits. Guidance on the methods and procedures for applying these limits in provisioning and maintenance are given in this Recommendation. This Recommendation uses certain p

26、rinciples that are the basis of the maintenance of a digital network: it is desirable to do in-service, continuous measurements. In some cases, out-of-service measurements may be necessary; performance limits of IP flows are independent of the supporting transport, but the allocation to network sect

27、ions may be dependent on the transport medium used. ITU-T Rec. M.2301 (07/2002) 1 ITU-T Recommendation M.2301 Performance objectives and procedures for provisioning and maintenance of IP-based networks 1 Scope This Recommendation provides performance objectives and procedures for provisioning and ma

28、intenance of IP-based networks owned by different operators. This is regardless of the transport technology supporting the IP network and the higher layers to be implemented over IP. These objectives include error performance, delay performance and availability. This Recommendation also provides gui

29、dance, in an appendix, on the performance objectives and limits for IP network resources (e.g. routers, subnetworks etc.), which are owned and managed by a single operator. Performance limits for temporary dial-up access links, end-customer owned portions and MPLS networks are not covered by this Re

30、commendation and are for further study. However, the performance of fixed access links, whose routing does not change, is covered. This Recommendation provides the network QoS classes needed to support user-oriented QoS categories. Accordingly, this Recommendation is consistent with the general fram

31、ework for defining quality of communication services in ITU-T Rec. G.1000 1, and with the end-user multimedia QoS categories needed to support user applications given in ITU-T Rec. G.1010 2. NOTE This Recommendation uses parameters defined in ITU-T Rec. Y.1540 4 that can be used to characterise IP n

32、etwork performance provided using IPv4. Applicability or extension to other protocols (e.g. IPv6) is for further study. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.1 Access Gateway (AG): The IP network equipment that provides access to

39、the AS and terminates the access protocol from the user. 3.2 Autonomous System (AS): An IP network controlled and managed by a single authority and identified by a specific AS number in the whole Internet. An IP network operator may own and manage one or more ASs. 3.3 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP):

40、The Inter-Autonomous System routing protocol defined in RFC 1267 7 that allows an AS to exchange routing information with other ASs. 3.4 Border Gateway Router (BGR): A router, belonging to an AS, that exchanges network reachability information with the neighboured ASs. 3.5 connectivity: The ability

41、of an AS to provide a number of routes to its customers traffic. An AS achieves whole Internet connectivity from its interconnection with other ASs. 3.6 Customer Premises Equipment (CPE): Any network equipment sited on the customers premises used to connect with an AS. This may include simple modems

42、 e.g. DSL, multiplexers, routers, switches or complete customer local area networks. 3.7 IP Operator Domain (IPOD): Any connected subset of ASs together with all the links that interconnect them, which are under a single jurisdiction. The term IPOD can be used to refer to a single AS or any number o

43、f ASs and their interconnecting links. It can also be used to represent an entire single operator IP network and is defined between two OBGRs. 3.8 Management Information Base (MIB): The database in a network element that contains configuration, event and performance data that is accessible by a mana

44、gement system. 3.9 Measurement Point (MP): The physical or logical point at which measurements can be made and to which the data obtained is related. In the context of this Recommendation, this is typically at an OBGR. 3.10 Network Interface (NI): The interface between the access network and the cus

45、tomer installation. 3.11 Operator Border Gateway Router (OBGR): A router, belonging to an IPOD, that exchanges network reachability information with the neighboured IPOD. It is situated at the edge of an IPOD. 3.12 provisioning: The installation, assignment and commissioning (including bringing-into

46、-service testing) of network resources. 4 Abbreviations This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: AG Access Gateway AL Access Line AS Autonomous System BGP Border Gateway Protocol ITU-T Rec.
