X.144 (10/2003) i ITU-T Recommendation X.144 User information transfer performance parameters for public frame relay data networks Summary This Recommendation defines speed, accuracy and dependability performance parameters that may be used in specifying and assessing t

8、he user information transfer performance of public frame relay data networks. The defined performance parameters are applicable to both PVC and SVC services. This revision was undertaken to take into account the development of ITU-T Rec. X.147 which specifies network availability objective values to

9、gether with techniques for assessing frame relay network availability. Information previously pertaining to availability has been moved to ITU-T Rec. X.147. References have been updated to take into account the development of ITU-T Rec. X.146 which specifies performance objectives and classes of ser

10、vice, and of ITU-T Rec. X.148 which defines measurement techniques. Source ITU-T Recommendation X.144 was approved on 29 October 2003 by ITU-T Study Group 17 (2001-2004) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. X.144 (10/2003) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (IT

11、U) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standar

12、dizing 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 study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is cove

13、red 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 basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indic

14、ate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved

15、when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROP

16、ERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of 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 assert

17、ed by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the 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. However, implementors are cautioned th

X.144 (10/2003) 1 ITU-T Recommendation X.144 User information transfer performance parameters for public frame relay data networks 1 Scope This Recommendation defines speed, accuracy

25、 and dependability performance parameters that may be used in specifying and assessing the user information transfer performance of public frame relay data networks. The defined parameters apply to end-to-end and point-to-point frame relay connections1, and to specified portions of such connections

26、when provided in accordance with ITU-T Recs X.36 and X.76. The performance parameters defined in this Recommendation are intended to be used in the planning of international frame relay services. The intended users of this Recommendation include frame relay service providers, equipment manufacturers

27、 and end users. This Recommendation may be used: 1) by service providers in the planning, development and assessment of frame relay services to ensure that the achieved performance meet users needs; 2) by equipment manufacturers as performance metrics that will affect equipment design; and 3) by use

28、rs in evaluating performance. The scope of this Recommendation is summarized in Figure 1. The frame relay performance parameters are defined on the basis of frame transfer reference events that may be observed at physical interfaces associated with specified boundaries. For comparability and complet

29、eness, frame relay performance is considered in the context of the 3 3 performance matrix defined in ITU-T Rec. X.140. Three protocol-independent data communication functions are identified in the matrix: connection set up, user information transfer and disengagement. Each function is considered wit

30、h respect to three general performance concerns (or “performance criteria“): speed; accuracy; and dependability. An associated two-state model provides a basis for describing service availability (see ITU-T Rec. X.147) The performance parameters defined in this Recommendation define the speed, accur

31、acy, and dependability of the user information transfer provided by frame relay networks. The user transfer performance parameters are applicable to both PVCs and SVCs. ITU-T Rec. X.145 defines the speed, accuracy and dependability of the connection set-up and the disengagement phase of frame relay

32、Switched Virtual Connections (SVC). ITU-T Rec. X.146 specifies performance objectives and quality of service classes applicable to frame relay. ITU-T Rec. X.147 specifies objectives and methods for assessing network availability of frame relay services. _ 1In the context of this Recommendation, a fr

33、ame relay connection (denoted hereafter, unless noted otherwise, by the term “connection“) refers to a virtual connection established between two specified end points. 2 ITU-T Rec. X.144 (10/2003) ITU-T Rec. X.148 specifies procedures for measuring the performance of public frame relay data networks

34、. NOTE 1 The parameters defined in this Recommendation may be augmented or modified based upon further study of the requirements for quantify the performance of frame relay networks. NOTE 2 The defined parameters are intended to characterize frame relay connections in the available state. NOTE 3 The

35、 parameters of this Recommendation are designed to measure the performance of network elements between pairs of section boundaries. However, users of this Recommendation should be aware that the behaviour of connection elements outside the pair of boundaries can adversely influence the measured perf

36、ormance of the elements between the boundaries. Examples are described in Appendix III. This Recommendation is organized as follows: Clause 2 presents references. Clause 3 presents abbreviations. Clause 4 defines a performance model and a set of frame transfer reference events (FEs) that provide a b

37、asis for performance parameter definition. Clause 5 defines frame-based speed of service, accuracy and dependability parameters using the frame transfer reference events defined in clause 4. Annex A presents a test for judging traffic conformance for performance assessment purposes. Annex B defines

38、bit-based accuracy and dependability parameters associated with the transfer of user information in frame relay services. Annex C gives some relations between frame-level and ATM-level and performance parameters. Appendix I discusses the performance effects of network indications of congestion and m

39、akes general recommendations for controlling these effects. Appendix II discusses performance effects of excessive demand for connection resources. Appendix III gives a method of estimating the FLR from network statistics. ITU-T Rec. X.144 (10/2003) 3 X.144_F01(Frame relaynetwork)DSEDSENetwork secti
