ITU-T Y.1540 (07/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations speci

ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them w
14、ith 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 groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Re
15、commendations 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 ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for
16、 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 provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Reco
17、mmendation 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 words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any p

ITU-T Y.1540 (07/2016) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Y.1540 Internet protocol data communication service IP packet transfer and availability performance parameters 1 Scope This Recommendation defines parameters that may be used in specifying and assessing the performance of
32、speed, accuracy, dependability and availability of IP packet transfer of international Internet Protocol (IP) data communication services. The defined parameters apply to the end-to-end, point-to-point IP service and to the network portions that provide, or contribute to the provision of, such servi
33、ce in accordance with the normative references specified in clause 2. Connectionless transport is a distinguishing aspect of the IP service that is considered in this Recommendation. For the purpose of this Recommendation, end-to-end IP service refers to the transfer of user-generated IP datagrams (
34、referred to in this Recommendation as IP packets) between two end hosts as specified by their complete IP addresses. This differs from the boundaries implied by the phrase “end-to-end“ in some other Recommendations. For example, ITU-T P.10 defines end-to-end quality as related to the performance of
35、a communication system, including all terminal equipment. For voice services, end-to-end is equivalent to mouth-to-ear quality. NOTE 1 This Recommendation defines parameters that can be used to characterize IP service provided using Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6
36、(IPv6); applicability or extension of this Recommendation to other protocols (e.g., resource reservation protocol (RSVP) is for further study. NOTE 2 Recommendations for the performance of point-to-multipoint IP service are currently under development. The ITU-T Y.1540 performance parameters are int
37、ended to be used in planning and offering international IP service. The intended users of this Recommendation include IP service providers, equipment manufacturers and end users. This Recommendation may be used by service providers in the planning, development and assessment of IP service that meets
38、 user performance needs; by equipment manufacturers as performance information that will affect equipment design; and by end users in evaluating IP service performance. The scope of this Recommendation is summarized in Figure 1. The IP service performance parameters are defined on the basis of IP pa
39、cket transfer reference events (IPREs) that may be observed at measurement points (MPs) associated with specified functional and jurisdictional boundaries. For comparability and completeness, IP service performance is considered in the context of the 3 3 performance matrix defined in ITU-T I.350. Th
40、ree protocol-independent communication functions are identified in the matrix: access, user information transfer and disengagement. Each function is considered with respect to three general performance concerns (or “performance criteria“): speed, accuracy and dependability. An associated two-state m
41、odel provides a basis for describing IP service availability. NOTE 3 In this Recommendation, the user information transfer function illustrated in Figure 1 refers to the attempted transfer of any IP packet, regardless of its type or contents. 2 Rec.

45、nd availability of IP packet transfer as provided by the IP data communication service. Future ITU-T Recommendations may be developed to provide standard methods of measuring the ITU-T Y.1540 performance parameters in an international context. The end-to-end performance of international IP services
46、providing access and disengagement functions (e.g., domain name service) and higher-layer transport capabilities (e.g., transmission control protocol) may be addressed in separate Recommendations. This Recommendation is structured as follows: Clause 1 specifies its scope. Clause 2 specifies its norm
47、ative references. Clause 3 provides a list of abbreviations. Clause 4 illustrates the layered model that creates the context for IP performance specification. Clause 5 defines the model used for IP performance, including network sections and measurement points, reference events and outcomes. Clause
48、6 uses this model to define IP packet transfer performance parameters. Clause 7 then defines IP service availability parameters. Appendix I describes IP packet routing considerations and their effects on performance. Appendix II provides secondary terminology for IP packet delay variation. Appendix
49、III describes some possible metrics for IP packet rate and reference material for assessing the throughput and throughput capacity of IP service. Appendix IV describes estimation of IP service availability. Appendix V presents considerations for measuring the ITU-T Y.1540 parameters. Appendix VI gives some background on IP service availability. Appendix VII offers background information on the stream repair parameters, and Appendix VIII adds information on c
