X.149 (10/2003) i ITU-T Recommendation X.149 Performance of IP networks when supported by public Frame Relay data networks Summary The key objective of this Recommendation is to provide an estimate of the IP layer performance obtained in the case where Frame Relay network infr

8、astructure is used to provide the lower layer connectivity to transport the IP packets between the routers. Mappings between Frame Relay and IP performance parameters are presented. Numerical values of IP performance parameters are estimated based on the objective values specified for the Frame Rela

9、y performance parameters specified in ITU-T Rec. X.146. A general model for the calculation of transfer delay is presented. This model can be used to assist in the planning of networks. The analysis presented provides an upper bound on the performance that could be achieved by an IP network when car

10、ried over a Frame Relay network. The performance mappings between FR and IP networks specified are seen as complementary to ITU-T Rec. Y.1541, since ITU-T Rec. Y.1541 is technology independent with regard to the provision of the physical and link layers. Accordingly, this Recommendation does not spe

11、cify end-to-end performance objectives, but illustrates the way in which the Y.1541 objectives could be supported.

12、works, Performance. ii ITU-T Rec. X.149 (10/2003) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) 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 study

13、ing 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 study group

14、s 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 basis with IS

15、O and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provision

16、s (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved 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 wo

17、rds does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 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 co

18、ncerning 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 date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by

19、 patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 2004 All rights reserved.

27、rformance of IP networks when supported by public Frame Relay data networks 1 Scope The key objective of this Recommendation is to specify the end-to-end performance that could be achieved by an IP network when the backbone network providing the connectivity between the IP routers is provided by Fra

28、me Relay infrastructure. This Recommendation does not specify end-to-end performance objectives for IP networks. The Recommendation provides an estimate of the IP layer performance obtained when Public Frame Relay Data Networks are used to transport the IP packets and indicates how the IP QoS classe

29、s defined in ITU-T Rec. Y.1541 could be supported. The Recommendation provides an analysis of the mappings between the Frame Relay and IP performance parameters. Numerical values of the expected IP performance parameters are derived from the objective values specified for the Frame Relay Performance

30、 parameters as specified in ITU-T Rec. X.146. Using a general model an analysis of the expected performance for various IP packet sizes (corresponding to various IP applications) and the influence of the Frame Relay network infrastructure (e.g., inter-node transmission trunks) is provided. This anal

31、ysis provides an upper bound on the performance that could be achieved by an IP network when carried over a Frame Relay network, since the IP network infrastructure could increase both the achieved IP packet transit delay and IP packet loss rate. This Recommendation, and in particular the performanc

32、e parameter mappings between Frame Relay and IP networks, is seen as complementary to ITU-T Rec. Y.1541, since ITU-T Rec. Y.1541 is technology independent with regard to the provision of the physical and link layers. The scope of the Recommendation is limited to IP networks where the link infrastruc

33、ture is provided by or supported by Public Frame Relay Data Networks. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

43、esented. 3.1 Definition of IP and Frame Relay performance parameters The definitions (as per ITU-T Rec. Y.1540) of IP Loss Ratio and Frame Loss Ratio are presented here for clarity. 3.1.1 IP Packet performance parameters 3.1.1.1 IP packet loss ratio (IPLR): IP Packet Loss Ratio is the ratio of the t

44、otal lost IP packet outcomes to total transmitted IP packets in a population of interest. “Lost IP packet outcomes“ and “Populations of Interest“ are defined in ITU-T Rec. Y.1540. 3.1.1.2 IP packet transfer delay (IPTD): IP packet transfer delay is defined for all successful and errored packet outco

45、mes across a basic section or an NSE. IPTD is the time (t2 t1) between the occurrence of two corresponding IP packet reference events, ingress event IPRE1at time t1and egress event IPRE2at time t2, where (t2 t1) and (t2 t1) Tmax. Network Section Ensemble (NSE) and IP Reference Events (IPRE) are defi

46、ned in ITU-T Rec. Y.1540. 3.1.2 Frame Relay performance parameters The definition of Frame Loss Ratio and Frame Transfer Delay (as per packet transfer X.144) are presented here for clarity. ITU-T Rec. X.149 (10/2003) 33.1.2.1 frame loss ratio: The user information Frame Loss Ratio (FLR) is defined a

47、s: ESLFFFFFLR+=Lwhere, in a specified population: FSis the total number of successively transferred frame outcomes; FLis the total number of lost frame outcomes; and FEis the total number of residually errored frame outcomes. The objective values for frame loss ratio specified in the Frame Relay QoS

48、 classes in ITU-T Rec. X.146, correspond to a special case of the above ratio. This is the FLRC. The FLR for frames marked with the discard eligibility bit set to zero DE = 0 should remain relatively constant as long as the total DE = 0 traffic does not exceed the Committed Information Rate (CIR). I

49、f the network accepts all conforming frames, FLRCis the probability that a DE = 0 frame accepted as conforming will subsequently be lost. DE = 0 frames relayed with the DE bit changed to DE = 1 are included in the calculation of FLRC. 3.1.2.2 user information frame transfer delay: The user information frame transfer delay (FTD) is defined as: FTD = t2 t1where, in a specified population: t1is the time of occurrence for the first FE (Frame Layer Reference Event); t2is the time of occurrence for the
