16、97) 1 Introduction 1.1 This Recommendation is the first in a series of four Recommendations (X.134 to X.137) that define performance parameters and values for international packet-switched data communication services. Figure 1 illustrates the scope of these four Recommendations and the relationships

17、 among them. 1.2 This Recommendation divides a virtual connection into basic sections whose boundaries are associated withX.25 and X.75 interfaces. The performance of collections of these basic sections can be estimated using the packet-switched performance parameters defined in Recommendations X. 1

18、35 to 137 and the measurement techniques defined in Recommendations X.138 and X.139. In order to apportion the performance of an international virtual connection, this Recommendation defines two particular collections of basic sections for which performance values will be specified: national portion

19、s and international portions. As defined, every international virtuai connection contains two national portions and one intemational portion. The performance of these three portions can be combined in the calculation of the end-to-end virtual connection performance. These Recommendations do not spec

20、ifi performance values for other collections of basic sections; however, the ability to decompose a virtual connection into its basic sections will be useful in planning the performance of national and international portions. 1.3 The performance parameters in Recommendations X.135 to X.137 are defin

21、ed in terms of packet-layer reference events which can be observed at the boundaries between basic sections and thus can be observed at the portion boundaries. This Recommendation defines the performance significant packet-layer reference events. 1.4 For comparability and completeness, packet-switch

22、ed network performance is considered in the context of the 3 x 3 performance matrix defined in Recommendation X. 140. Three protocol-independent data communication functions are defined in the matrix: access, user information transfer, and disengagement. These general functions correspond to call Se

23、t-up, data (and interrupt) transfer, and call clearing in packet-switched virtual call services conforming to Recommendations X.25 and X.75. Each function is considered with respect to three general performance concerns (or “performance criteria“): speed, accuracy, and dependability. These express,

24、respectively, the delay or rate, degree of correctness, and degree of certainty with which the function is performed. 1.5 Recommendation X. 135 defines protocol-specific speed of service parameters and values associated with each of the three data communication functions. Recommendation X.136 define

25、s protocol-specific accuracy and dependability parameters and values associated with each function. X.135 and X.136 parameters are called “primary parameters“ to emphasize their direct derivation from packet-layer reference events. 1.6 An associated two-state model provides a basis for describing ov

26、erall service availability. A specified availability function compares the values for a subset of the primary parameters with corresponding outage thresholds to classi the service as “available“ (no service outage) or “unavailable“ (service outage) during scheduled service time. Recommendation X.137

27、 specifies the availability function and defines the availability parameters and values that characterize the resulting binary random process. 1.7 receivable at points within the scope of the DTEs, further elements must be included. in order to relate the network performance values given in Recommen

28、dations X.135 to X.137 to the service Recommendation X.134 (08197) 1 STD-ITU-T RECMN X*L34-ENGL 1.7.1 In particular, specification of service performance at the layer 3/4 boundary (OS1 Network service) must include those processes within the DTEs concerned with the transfer of packets from the physi

29、cal circuit of the DTEDCE interface to the layer 314 boundary at each end of the virtual connection, however they may be implemented. This processing may include elements associated with OS1 layers 1,2 and 3 and may involve transmission across private wide-area and/or local-area networks. 1.7.2 Spec

30、ification of service performance for the user or application, if required, must similarly include in addition, those processes within the DTEs concerned with the transfer of information from the layer 314 boundary to the layer 7 upper boundary beyond each end of the virtual connection, however they

31、may be implemented. This processing may include elements associated with OS1 layers 4,5,6 and 7. 1.7.3 Additional protocol- or service-specific reference events would need to be defined to cover these aspects, but are outside the scope of this Recommendation. However, the parameter definitions of Re

47、uit section. A transit network section is a network section between two internetwork circuit sections. A basic section of a virtual connection is either an access network section, a transit network section, an access circuit section, or an intemetwork circuit section. A section boundary (or boundary

48、) separates a network section fiom the adjacent circuit section or it separates an access circuit section fiom the adjacent DTE. A national portion of an international virtual connection is a collection of adjacent alternating network sections and circuit sections entirely within the borders of one

49、nation. The national portion connects a DTE to an internetwork circuit section that crosses the national border. The national portion includes the access circuit section and excludes the internetwork circuit section that crosses the national border. A national portion always includes one access circuit section and one access network section, and it may include one or more pairs of internetwork circuit sections and transit network sections. There are two national portions of any intemational virtual circuit. An international portion of an internation
