8、AL PACKET-SWITCHED SERVICES Summary This Recommendation provides measurement methods for the performance parameters specified in the X. 1 30-Series Recommendations on PSPDN. Source ITU-T Recommendation X.138 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 7 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No

9、. 1 procedure on the 9th of August 1997. Recommendation X.138 (08/97) 1 STD-ITU-T RECMN X.13B-ENGL 1997 D 48b257L Ob397b7 qb2 D FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommuni- cations. The ITU Telecommunication Standardizatio

10、n Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible 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 Conference (WTSC), w

11、hich meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of informat

12、ion technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.

The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Prope

22、IC DATA NETWORKS WHEN PROVIDING INTERNATIONAL PACKET-SWITCHED SERVICES (revised in 1997) 1 Introduction and scope This Recommendation describes architectures for measuring performance values for packet-switched public data networks. Clause 5 defines a measurement method using controlled and monitore

23、d sources and sinks. Clause 6 describes a means of synchronizing measurement equipment. Annex A provides detailed information on the calculation of packet- switched network performance statistics. Annex B provides information on factors which can affect their observation and Annex C provides example

24、s of the use of measurements. Note that other measurement devices and procedures that adhere to the definitions of Recommendations X.134, X. 135, X. 136 and X.137 are also acceptable for estimating the performance of packet-switched public data networks. 1.1 General The network performance may need

25、to be measured for reasons including the following: - to assist network planning; - - - network performance parameters may be included in contractual arrangements; Quality of Service parameters may need to be measured for other Recommendations; network operators may require general service descripti

26、ons. 1.2 Parameters to be measured The speed of service (delay and throughput) performance values for packet-switched public data netporks defined in Recommendation X. 135 are as follows: - Call set-up delay (see clause 4K.135). - Data packet transfer delay (see clause 5K.135). - Throughput (see cla

27、use 6K.135). - Clear indication delay (see clause 7K.135). - Clear confirmation delay (see clause 7B5.135). NOTE - Recommendation X.135 does not specify values for this parameter. The Quality of Service parameters defined in Recommendations X.136 and X.137 are as follows: - Call set-up error probabi

28、lity (see clause 4K.136). - Call set-up failure probability (see clause 4K.136). - Residual error ratio (see clause 5B5.136). - Reset stimulus probability (see clause 5B5.136). - Reset probability (see clause 5K.136). - Premature disconnect (see clause 5K.136). - Premature disconnect probability (se

29、e clause 5E.136). - Cali clear failure probability (see clause 6K. 136). - Availability (see Recommendation X. 137). stimulus probability Recommendation X.138 (08/97) 1 STD-ITU-T RECMN XaL3B-ENGL 1997 m 48b2591 Ob37770 T57 D It should be noted that the expected values for many of the various Quality

30、 of Service parameters defined in Recommendations X.136 make their estimation within reasonable bounds likely to take an excessive number of samples (during which time the structure or performance of the network may have changed). Thus, it may not be practical to estimate these parameters between a

31、single pair of interfaces. However, it may be possible to estimate the values with more certainty averaged over a whole network. 1.3 Accuracy requirements of measurements 1.3.1 Measurement objectives There is always a cost versus sample size trade off which must be resolved when attempting to estima

32、te a given parameter, and as the cost of taking an observation can have a considerable effect on the final estimate achieved, this Recommendation does not recommend a minimum number of observations. Additionally, in certain situations, estimating the parameter with great precision may not be as crit

33、ical as in others. Estimates of means, variances, percentile, modes, maxima and minima are all examples of parameter estimation. In reporting any such estimated parameters, it is always recommended that a measure of the precision of the estimate be included. The variance of the estimate, or a confid

34、ence interval about the estimate, are two common methods of expressing the estimates precision. 1.3.2 Reference events The time of occurrence of various reference events is the basis for the definitions of the speed of service parameters listed above. In this Recommendation and in Recommendation X.1

35、39, times are specified with respect to exit and entry events relative to the test equipment. Thus, the time of occurrence of an entry event into such a DTE is the time at which the last bit of the closing flag of the layer two frame carrying the packet enters the DTE from a circuit section and the

36、time of occurrence of an exit event from such a DTE is the time at which the first bit of the address field of the layer two frame carrying the packet enters the circuit section from the DTE. Comprehensive lists of X.25 and X.75 packet layer reference events are given in Tables 1fi.134 and 2fi.134,

37、and the definition of a packet-layer reference event is given in clause 31x.134. 2 References The following IT-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.
