14、1541 (12/2011) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is respo

15、nsible 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 I

16、TU-T 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 collaborati

17、ve basis 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. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain man

18、datory provisions (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.

19、The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.

34、dation ITU-T Y.1541 Network performance objectives for IP-based services 1 Introduction and Scope 1.1 Introduction Customers require network performance levels that, when combined with their hosts, terminals, and other devices, satisfactorily support their applications. The adoption of IP-based netw

35、ork services IETF RFC 791 has not changed this fact, except that networks must be constrained in terms of packet transfer performance parameters (as defined in ITU-T Y.1540). Traditional application performance requirements are well-understood, but several key contributors are often beyond the netwo

36、rk service providers control (e.g., home networks, LAN, application gateways, terminals, hosts, and other customer devices). We note that objectives on the performance of customer equipment are available, such as ITU-T P.1010 for VoIP terminals and gateways, and combining these objectives with speci

37、fic network performance levels (as appendices of this Recommendation illustrate), a view of application performance can be directly related to network performance. In response, service providers have agreed on network performance levels that they will work together to meet, and have codified the num

38、erical objectives in this Recommendation. Agreement on levels of network performance is highly beneficial, because it constrains a critical and often dominating factor in application performance ITU-T I.350. The objectives are organized in sets called network quality of service (QoS) classes (in Tab

39、le 1) that can be matched with well-designed customer equipment to satisfactorily support various applications (as indicated in Table 2). Classes with provisional objectives are found in Table 3. The number of classes has been deliberately kept small to simplify the engineering of paths traversing m

40、ultiple operators networks, so the objectives in each class must satisfy the needs of multiple applications. Readers of this Recommendation should plan for at least eight classes when considering protocol fields and values, since future expansion of the classes is possible. The objective values resu

41、lt from analysis of key applications such as conversational telephony, multimedia conferencing, reliable data exchange using TCP, and digital television, in concert with network feasibility analysis. The appendices provide significant, detailed testimony as to how the objectives in the network QoS c

42、lasses can be used to determine the end-to-end (application) quality provided. Another factor in the development of objective values has been network feasibility. When paths span wide geographical distances, very long propagation times will prevent low delay objectives from being met, thus additiona

43、l classes are required to address these cases. It is important to clarify how designers of new applications should make use of the ITU-T Y.1541 classes. Designers should consider the packet performance objectives as representative of well-managed IP-based networks and include mitigations for these i

44、mpairment levels in their designs. Only after application requirements have been carefully rationalized and a range of impairment mitigations have been examined, should new QoS classes be considered to address unmet requirements. The network QoS classes form an important link in the chain of develop

45、ments required to assure end-to-end performance. They are part of the lexicon for QoS negotiation among users and networks, especially when signalling protocols communicate QoS requests on a dynamic basis. 2 Rec. ITU-T Y.1541 (12/2011) Verification that the service meets network objectives is anothe

46、r key area of customer interest. This has been addressed here through recommended evaluation intervals, packet payload sizes, and other aspects useful to measurement designers. In addition, the UNI-UNI objectives are directly verifiable by users, in contrast with objectives that apply to non-user in

47、terfaces or utilize information unknown to customers, such as route distance. 1.2 Scope This Recommendation specifies network (UNI-UNI) IP performance values for each of the performance parameters defined in ITU-T Y.1540. The specific performance values vary, depending on the network QoS class. This

48、 Recommendation defines eight network QoS classes, two of which are provisional. This Recommendation applies to international IP network paths (UNI-UNI). The network QoS classes defined here are intended to be the basis of agreements between end-users and network service providers, and between servi

49、ce providers. The classes should continue to be used when static agreements give way to dynamic requests supported by QoS specification protocols. The QoS classes defined here support an extremely wide range of applications, including the following: conversational telephony, multimedia conferencing, digital video, and interactive data transfer. Designers of new user applications should first consider using the existing QoS classes, and possibly include technologies to mitigate packet transfer
