Abstract

摘要

This memo discusses and defines terms associated with performance benchmarking tests and the results of these tests in the context of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based switching devices. The terms defined in this memo will be used in addition to terms defined in RFCs 1242, 2285, and 2544. This memo is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

本备忘录讨论并定义了与基于异步传输模式(ATM)交换设备的性能基准测试相关的术语以及这些测试的结果。除RFCs 1242、2285和2544中定义的术语外,还将使用本备忘录中定义的术语。本备忘录是互联网工程任务组(IETF)基准方法工作组(BMWG)的产品。

Introduction

介绍

This document provides terminology for benchmarking ATM based switching devices. It extends terminology already defined for benchmarking network interconnect devices in RFCs 1242, 2285, and 2544. Although some of the definitions in this memo may be applicable to a broader group of network interconnect devices, the primary focus of the terminology in this memo is on ATM cell relay and signaling.

本文档提供了基于ATM的交换设备基准测试术语。它扩展了RFCs 1242、2285和2544中为基准网络互连设备定义的术语。尽管本备忘录中的一些定义可能适用于更广泛的网络互连设备组,但本备忘录中术语的主要重点是ATM信元中继和信令。

This memo contains two major sections: Background and Definitions. Within the definitions section is a formal definitions subsection, provided as a courtesy to the reader, and a measurement definitions sub-section, that contains performance metrics with inherent units. The divisions of the measurement sub-section follow the BISDN model.

本备忘录包含两个主要部分:背景和定义。在定义部分中,有一个正式的定义小节,作为对读者的礼貌,还有一个度量定义小节,其中包含具有固有单位的性能度量。测量子部分的划分遵循BISDN模型。

The BISDN model comprises four layers and two planes. This document addresses the interactions between these layers and how they effect IP and TCP throughput. A schematic of the B-ISDN model follows:

BISDN模型包括四层和两个平面。本文档介绍这些层之间的交互以及它们如何影响IP和TCP吞吐量。B-ISDN模型的示意图如下所示:

This document assumes that necessary services are available and active. For example, IP connectivity requires SSCOP connectivity between signaling entities. Further, it is assumed that the SUT has the ability to configure ATM addresses (via hard coded addresses, ILMI or PNNI neighbor discovery), has the ability to run SSCOP, and has the ability to perform signaled call setups (via UNI or PNNI signaling). This document covers only CBR, VBR and UBR traffic types. ABR will be handled in a separate document. Finally, this document presents only the terminology associated with benchmarking IP performance over ATM; therefore, it does not represent a total compilation of ATM test terminology.

本文档假设必要的服务可用且处于活动状态。例如,IP连接需要信令实体之间的SSCOP连接。此外,假设SUT能够配置ATM地址(通过硬编码地址、ILMI或PNNI邻居发现),能够运行SSCOP,并且能够执行信令呼叫设置(通过UNI或PNNI信令)。本文档仅涵盖CBR、VBR和UBR流量类型。ABR将在单独的文件中处理。最后,本文档仅介绍与ATM上IP性能基准测试相关的术语;因此,它并不代表ATM测试术语的全部汇编。

The BMWG produces two major classes of documents: Benchmarking Terminology documents and Benchmarking Methodology documents. The Terminology documents present the benchmarks and other related terms. The Methodology documents define the procedures required to collect the benchmarks cited in the corresponding Terminology documents.

BMWG产生两大类文件:基准术语文件和基准方法文件。术语文件介绍了基准和其他相关术语。方法文件规定了收集相应术语文件中引用的基准所需的程序。

定义:AAL5将多小区高层PDU适配到ATM中,具有最小的错误检查和无错误检测。AAL5 CPCS(公共Paer会聚子层)PDU定义如下:

   |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
        

where:

哪里:

CPCS-UU is the 1 octet Common Part Convergence Sub-layer User to User Indication and may be used to communicate between two AAL5 entities.

CPCS-UU是1个八位组公共部分汇聚子层用户对用户指示,可用于两个AAL5实体之间的通信。

CPI is the 1 octet Common Part Indicator and must be set to 0.

CPI是1个八位字节的公共部分指示器,必须设置为0。

Length is the 2 octet length of the higher layer PDU.

长度是较高层PDU的2个八位组长度。

CRC-32 is a 32 bit (4 octet) cyclic redundancy check over the entire PDU.

CRC-32是整个PDU上的32位(4个八位组)循环冗余校验。

Discussion: AAL5 is the adaptation layer for UNI signaling, ILMI, PNNI signaling, and for IP PDUs. It is the most widely used AAL type to date. AAL5 requires two distinct processes. The first is the encapsulation, on the transmit side, and de-encapsulation, on the receive side, of the higher layer PDU into the AAL5 CPCS PDU which requires the computation of the length and the CRC-32. The time required for this process depends on whether the CRC-32 computation is done on the interface (on-board) or in machine central memory (in core). On-board computation should produce only a small, constant delay; however, in core computation will produce variable delay, which will negatively effect TCP RTT computations. The second process is segmentation and re-assembly (SAR) which is defined below (see

讨论:AAL5是UNI信令、ILMI、PNNI信令和IP PDU的适配层。它是迄今为止使用最广泛的AAL类型。AAL5需要两个不同的过程。第一个是在传输侧将上层PDU封装到AAL5 CPCS PDU中,在接收侧将其解封装到AAL5 CPCS PDU中,这需要计算长度和CRC-32。此过程所需的时间取决于CRC-32计算是在接口(板载)还是在机器中央存储器(核心)中完成。车载计算只应产生一个小的、恒定的延迟;然而,内核计算将产生可变延迟,这将对TCP RTT计算产生负面影响。第二个过程是分段和重新组装(SAR),定义如下(参见

SAR).

1.2.3. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
1.2.3. 异步传输模式(ATM)

Definition: A transfer mode in which the information is organized into 53 octet PDUs called cells. It is asynchronous in the sense that the recurrence of cells containing information from an individual user is not necessarily periodic.

定义:一种传输模式,其中信息被组织成53个八位组PDU,称为单元。它是异步的,因为包含单个用户信息的单元格的重复不一定是周期性的。

Discussion: ATM is based on the ISDN model; however, unlike ISDN, ATM uses fixed length (53 octet) cells. Because of the fixed length of ATM PDUs, higher layer PDUs must be adapted into ATM using one of the four ATM adaptation layers (see AAL).

讨论:ATM基于ISDN模型;然而,与ISDN不同,ATM使用固定长度(53个八位组)信元。由于ATM PDU的长度是固定的,因此必须使用四个ATM适配层之一将更高层的PDU适配到ATM中(参见AAL)。

The communications over an ATM Layer connection may be either bi-directional or unidirectional. The same Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) is issued for both directions of a connection at an interface.

定义:由ATM层建立的关联,用于支持两个或多个ATM服务用户之间的通信(即,两个或多个下一级实体之间或两个或多个ATM实体之间)。ATM层连接上的通信可以是双向的,也可以是单向的。为接口处连接的两个方向发出相同的虚拟通道标识符(VCI)。

定义:一个流量参数,与可持续信元速率(SCR)一起指定ATM连接上在峰值信元速率(PCR)下可接受的最大信元数。

Discussion: BT applies to ATM connections supporting VBR services and is the limit parameter of the GCRA. BT will effect TCP and IP PDU loss in that cells presented to an interface which violate the BT may be dropped, which will cause AAL5 PDU corruption. BT will also effect TCP RTT calculation. BT=(MBS-1)*(1/SCR 1/PCR) (see MBS, PCR, SCR).

1.2.13. Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT)
1.2.13. 信元延迟变化容限(CDVT)

Definition: ATM layer functions may alter the traffic characteristics of ATM connections by introducing Cell Delay Variation. When cells from two or more ATM connections are multiplexed, cells of a given ATM connection may be delayed while cells of another ATM connection are being inserted at the output of the multiplexer. Similarly, some cells may be delayed while physical layer overhead or OAM cells are inserted. Consequently, some randomness may affect the inter-arrival time between consecutive cells of a connection as monitored at the UNI. The upper bound on the "clumping" measure is the CDVT.

定义:ATM层功能可能通过引入信元延迟变化来改变ATM连接的流量特性。当来自两个或多个ATM连接的信元被多路复用时,当另一个ATM连接的信元被插入多路复用器的输出端时,给定ATM连接的信元可能被延迟。类似地,当插入物理层开销或OAM小区时,一些小区可能被延迟。因此,一些随机性可能影响在UNI处监视的连接的连续小区之间的到达时间。“聚集”度量的上限是CDVT。

Discussion: CDVT effects TCP round trip time calculations. Large values of CDVT will adversely effect TCP throughput and cause SAR timeout. See discussion under SAR.

讨论:CDVT影响TCP往返时间计算。CDVT的大值将对TCP吞吐量产生不利影响,并导致SAR超时。见SAR下的讨论。

1.2.15. Cell Loss Priority (CLP)
1.2.15. 信元丢失优先级(CLP)

Definition: This bit in the ATM cell header indicates two levels of priority for ATM cells. CLP=0 cells are higher priority than CLP=1 cells. CLP=1 cells may be discarded during periods of congestion to preserve the CLR of CLP=0 cells.

定义:ATM信元报头中的该位表示ATM信元的两级优先级。CLP=0单元格的优先级高于CLP=1单元格。CLP=1小区可能在拥塞期间被丢弃,以保留CLP=0小区的CLR。

Discussion: The CLP bit is used to determine GCRA contract compliance. Specifically, two traffic contracts may apply to a single connection: CLP=0, meaning only cells with CLP=0, and CLP=0+1, meaning cells with CLP=0 or CLP=1.

讨论:CLP bit用于确定GCRA合同合规性。具体地说,两个流量契约可应用于单个连接:CLP=0,表示仅具有CLP=0的小区;CLP=0+1,表示具有CLP=0或CLP=1的小区。

1.2.17. Connection Admission Control (CAC)
1.2.17. 连接允许控制(CAC)

Definition: Connection Admission Control is defined as the set of actions taken by the network during the call set-up phase (or during call re-negotiation phase) in order to determine whether a connection request can be accepted or should be rejected (or whether a request for re-allocation can be accommodated).

定义:连接允许控制定义为网络在呼叫建立阶段(或呼叫重新协商阶段)采取的一组操作,以确定连接请求是否可以接受或应该拒绝(或重新分配请求是否可以接受)。

Discussion: CAC is based on the ATM traffic descriptor (see ATM traffic descriptor) associated with the call as well as the presented and existing load. It may also be based on administrative policies such as calling party number required or access limitations. The effect on performance of these policies is beyond the scope of this document and will be handled in the BMWG document: Benchmarking Terminology for Firewall Performance.

讨论:CAC基于与呼叫相关联的ATM流量描述符(参见ATM流量描述符)以及当前和现有负载。它也可能基于管理策略,如所需呼叫方号码或访问限制。这些策略对性能的影响超出了本文档的范围,将在BMWG文档:防火墙性能基准术语中处理。

Specification: AF-UNI3.1

规格:AF-UNI3.1

1.2.18. Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
1.2.18. 恒定比特率(CBR)

Definition: An ATM service category which supports a constant and guaranteed rate to transport services such as video or voice as well as circuit emulation which requires rigorous timing control and performance parameters. CBR requires the specification of PCR and QoS (see PCR and QoS).

定义:ATM服务类别,支持视频或语音等恒定且有保证的传输速率,以及需要严格定时控制和性能参数的电路仿真。CBR需要PCR和QoS规范(参见PCR和QoS)。

Discussion: Because CBR provides minimal cell delay variation (see CDV), it should improve TCP throughput by stabilizing the RTT calculation. Further, as CBR generally provides a high priority service, meaning that cells with a CBR traffic contract usually take priority over other cells during congestion, TCP segment and IP packet loss should be minimized. The cost associated with using CBR is the loss of statistical multiplexing. Since CBR guarantees both throughput and CDV control, the connections must be subscribed at PCR. This is extremely wasteful as most protocols, e.g., TCP, only utilize full bandwidth on one half of a bi-directional connection.

讨论:由于CBR提供最小的小区延迟变化(参见CDV),因此它应该通过稳定RTT计算来提高TCP吞吐量。此外,由于CBR通常提供高优先级服务,这意味着在拥塞期间,具有CBR流量契约的小区通常优先于其他小区,因此应将TCP段和IP数据包丢失降至最低。与使用CBR相关的成本是统计复用的损失。由于CBR保证吞吐量和CDV控制,因此必须在PCR时订阅连接。这是非常浪费的,因为大多数协议(例如TCP)只在双向连接的一半上使用全部带宽。

1.2.19. Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
1.2.19. 循环冗余校验(CRC)

Definition: A mathematical algorithm that computes a numerical value based on the bits in a block of data. This number is transmitted with the data, the receiver uses this information and the same algorithm to insure the accurate delivery of data by comparing the results of algorithm, and the number received. If a mismatch occurs, an error in transmission is presumed.

定义:根据数据块中的位计算数值的数学算法。此数字与数据一起传输,接收器使用此信息和相同的算法,通过比较算法结果和接收到的数字,确保数据的准确传输。如果出现不匹配,则假定传输中存在错误。

Discussion: CRC is not a measurement, but it is possible to measure the amount of time to perform a CRC on a string of bits. This measurement will not be addressed in this document. See discussion under AAL5.

1.2.21. Explicit Forward Congestion Indication (EFCI)
1.2.21. 显式前向拥塞指示(EFCI)

Definition: EFCI is an indication in the PTI field of the ATM cell header. A network element in an impending-congested state or a congested state may set EFCI so that this indication may be examined by the destination end-system. For example, the end-system may use this indication to implement a protocol that adaptively lowers the cell rate of the connection during congestion or impending congestion. A network element that is not in a congestion state or an impending congestion state will not modify the value of this indication. Impending congestion is the state when network equipment is operating around its engineered capacity level.

定义:EFCI是ATM信元报头的PTI字段中的指示。处于即将发生的拥塞状态或拥塞状态的网元可以设置EFCI,以便目的地终端系统可以检查该指示。例如,终端系统可以使用该指示来实现协议,该协议在拥塞或即将发生的拥塞期间自适应地降低连接的小区速率。未处于拥塞状态或即将发生的拥塞状态的网元不会修改此指示的值。即将发生的拥塞是指网络设备在其设计容量水平附近运行时的状态。

Discussion: EFCI may be used to prevent congestion by alerting a positive acknowledgement protocol and causing action to be taken. In the case of TCP, when EFCI cells are received the driver software could alert the TCP software of impending congestion. The TCP receiver would then acknowledge the current segment and set the window size to some very small number.

讨论:EFCI可通过向肯定确认协议发出警报并导致采取措施来防止拥塞。对于TCP,当接收到EFCI单元时,驱动程序软件可以向TCP软件发出即将发生拥塞的警报。TCP接收器随后将确认当前段,并将窗口大小设置为某个非常小的数字。

Definition: The GFR service provides the user with a Minimum Cell Rate (MCR) guarantee under the assumption of a given maximum frame size (MFS) and a given Maximum Burst Size (MBS). The MFS and MBS are both expressed in units of cells. GFR only applies to virtual channel connections (VCCs).

定义:GFR服务在给定最大帧大小(MFS)和给定最大突发大小(MBS)的假设下为用户提供最小小区速率(MCR)保证。MFS和MBS均以细胞单位表示。GFR仅适用于虚拟通道连接(VCC)。

Discussion: GFR is intended for users who are either not able to specify the range of traffic parameters needed to request most ATM services, or are not equipped to comply with the (source) behavior rules required by existing ATM services. Specifically, GFR provides the user with the following minimum service guarantee: When the network is congested, all frames whose length is less than MFS and presented to the ATM interface in bursts less than MBS and at a rate less than PCR will be handled with minimum frame loss. When the network is not congested, the user can burst at higher rates.

讨论:GFR适用于不能指定请求大多数ATM服务所需的流量参数范围,或不符合现有ATM服务所需的(源)行为规则的用户。具体而言,GFR为用户提供了以下最低服务保证:当网络拥塞时,长度小于MFS且以小于MBS的突发速率以小于PCR的速率呈现给ATM接口的所有帧将以最小的帧丢失率进行处理。当网络不拥挤时,用户可以以更高的速率突发。

The effect of GFR on performance is somewhat problematic as the policing algorithm associated with GFR depends on the network load; however, under congested condition and assuming a user who is following the GFR service agreement, it should improve performance.

GFR对性能的影响有些问题,因为与GFR相关联的策略算法取决于网络负载;但是,在拥挤条件下,假设用户遵守GFR服务协议,则应提高性能。

Discussion: SAR is not a measurement, but the speed in which SAR can be completed on a bit stream can be measured. Although this measurement is not included in this document, it should be noted that the manner in which SAR is performed will greatly effect performance. SAR can be performed either on the interface card (on board) or in machine central memory (in core). On-board computation should

讨论:SAR不是一种测量,但可以测量在比特流上完成SAR的速度。尽管本文件中未包括该测量,但应注意,SAR的执行方式将极大地影响性能。SAR可以在接口卡(车载)或机器中央存储器(核心)上执行。船上计算应

produce only a small, constant delay; however, in core computation will produce variable delay, which will negatively effect TCP RTT computations. This situation is further complicated by the location of the CRC-32 calculation. Given an in core CRC-32 calculation, bus contention may cause on board SAR to be slower than in core SAR. Clearly, on board CRC-32 calculation and SAR will produce the most favorable performance results.

只产生一个小的、持续的延迟;然而,内核计算将产生可变延迟,这将对TCP RTT计算产生负面影响。由于CRC-32计算的位置,这种情况更加复杂。给定核心内CRC-32计算,总线争用可能导致车载SAR比核心SAR慢。显然,机载CRC-32计算和SAR将产生最有利的性能结果。

SAR performance will also be effected by ATM layer impairments. Cell error (CE), cell loss(CL), cell mis-insertion (CM) and cell delay variation (CDV) will all negatively effect SAR. CE will cause an AAL5 PDU to fail the CRC-32 check and be discarded, thus discarding the packet which the PDU contained. CL and CM will both cause an AAL5 PDU to fail the length check and be discarded. CL can have other effects depending on whether the cell which was lost is the final cell (PTI=1) of the AAL5 PDU. The following discussion enumerates the possibilities.

SAR性能也会受到ATM层损伤的影响。信元错误(CE)、信元丢失(CL)、信元错误插入(CM)和信元延迟变化(CDV)都会对SAR产生负面影响。CE将导致AAL5 PDU无法通过CRC-32检查并被丢弃,从而丢弃PDU包含的数据包。CL和CM都会导致AAL5 PDU无法通过长度检查并被丢弃。根据丢失的单元是否为AAL5 PDU的最终单元(PTI=1),CL可能具有其他影响。下面的讨论列举了各种可能性。

1. PTI=0 cell is lost. In this case, re-assembly registers a length discrepancy and discards the PDU.

1. PTI=0单元丢失。在这种情况下,重新组装会注册长度差异并丢弃PDU。

2. PTI=1 cell is lost.

2. PTI=1个单元丢失。

2. A. The AAL5 re-assembly timer expires before the first cell, PTI=0, of the next AAL5 PDU arrives. The AAL5 PDU with the missing PTI=1 cell is discarded due to re-assembly timeout and one packet is lost.

2. A.在下一个AAL5 PDU的第一个单元PTI=0到达之前,AAL5重新组装计时器过期。由于重新组装超时,丢失PTI=1单元的AAL5 PDU被丢弃,一个数据包丢失。

2. B. The first cell of the next AAL5 PDU arrives before the re-assembly timer expires. The AAL5 with the missing PTI=1 cell is prepended to the next AAL5 PDU in the SAR engine. This yields two possibilities:

2. B.下一个AAL5 PDU的第一个单元在重新组装计时器到期之前到达。缺少PTI=1单元的AAL5将前置到SAR引擎中的下一个AAL5 PDU。这就产生了两种可能性:

2. B. i. The AAL5 re-assembly timer expires before the last cell, PTI=1, of the next AAL5 PDU arrives. The AAL5 PDU with the missing PTI=1 cell and the next AAL5 PDU are discarded due to re-assembly timeout and two packets are lost.

2. B.i。AAL5重新组装计时器在下一个AAL5 PDU的最后一个单元PTI=1到达之前过期。由于重新组装超时,丢失PTI=1单元的AAL5 PDU和下一个AAL5 PDU被丢弃,两个数据包丢失。

2. B. ii. The last cell of the next AAL5 PDU arrives before the re-assembly timer expires. In this case, AAL5 registers a length discrepancy and discards the PDU; therefore, the AAL5 PDU with the missing PTI=1 cell and the next AAL5 PDU are discarded due to their concatenation and two packets are lost.

2. B.二。下一个AAL5 PDU的最后一个单元在重新组装计时器到期之前到达。在这种情况下,AAL5注册长度差异并丢弃PDU;因此,缺少PTI=1单元的AAL5 PDU和下一个AAL5 PDU由于其串联而被丢弃,并且两个数据包丢失。

2. C. Coupled with re-assembly, there exists some mechanism for identifying the start of a higher layer PDU, e.g., IP, and the cells associated with the first incomplete AAL5 PDU are discarded, resulting in the loss of one packet.

2. C.与重新组装相结合,存在用于识别更高层PDU(例如IP)的开始的一些机制,并且与第一个不完整的AAL5 PDU相关联的单元被丢弃,导致丢失一个分组。

1.2.40. Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR)
1.2.40. 可持续细胞率(SCR)

Definition: The SCR is an upper bound on the conforming average rate of an ATM connection over time scales which are long relative to those for which the PCR is defined. Enforcement of this bound by the UPC could allow the network to allocate sufficient resources, but less than those based on the PCR, and still ensure that the performance objectives (e.g., for Cell Loss Ratio) can be achieved.

定义:SCR是ATM连接在时间尺度上的一致性平均速率的上限,该时间尺度相对于定义PCR的时间尺度较长。UPC对这一约束的实施可以允许网络分配足够的资源,但比基于PCR的资源要少,并且仍然可以确保实现性能目标(例如,小区丢失率)。

Discussion: SCR limits the average data rate on an ATM connection. If a user violates the SCR, cells may be dropped resulting in Cell Loss. This in turn will negatively impact AAL5 PDUs, which may be carrying IP datagrams. See the discussion under SAR.

讨论:SCR限制ATM连接上的平均数据速率。如果用户违反SCR,可能会丢弃单元,导致单元丢失。这反过来会对AAL5 PDU产生负面影响,因为AAL5 PDU可能承载IP数据报。参见SAR下的讨论。

Discussion: SVCs are established using either UNI signaling or PNNI signaling. The signaling state machine implements several timers, which can effect the time required for call establishment. This will effect TCP round trip time calculation, effecting TCP throughput. Specifically, there are two possibilities. In the case where Call Proceeding is not implemented, there is only one timer, T310, with a value of 10 seconds. In the case where Call Proceeding is implemented, there are two timers, T303 and T310, with the values 4 and 10 seconds, respectively. In either case, if a timer, either T303 or T310, expires after a Setup message is send, the calling party has the option of re-transmitting the Setup. In the T303 case, this yields a maximum setup time of 18 seconds and, In the T310 case, a maximum setup time of 20 seconds. Thus, the initial TCP RTT calculation will be on he order of 20 seconds.

讨论:SVC使用UNI信令或PNNI信令建立。信令状态机实现多个定时器,这些定时器可以影响呼叫建立所需的时间。这将影响TCP往返时间计算,影响TCP吞吐量。具体来说,有两种可能性。在没有执行呼叫继续的情况下,只有一个值为10秒的计时器T310。在执行呼叫处理的情况下,有两个计时器T303和T310,其值分别为4秒和10秒。在任何一种情况下,如果定时器T303或T310在发送设置消息后过期,则主叫方可以选择重新发送设置。在T303情况下,最大设置时间为18秒,在T310情况下,最大设置时间为20秒。因此,初始TCP RTT计算将在20秒左右。

定义:B-ISDN模型物理层的子层将信元流转换为稳定的比特流和字节流,以便在物理介质上传输。在传输时,TC子层将信元映射到帧格式,生成报头错误检查(HEC),并在ATM层没有空闲信元时发送空闲信元。发送。在接收时,TC子层描绘接收比特流中的单个小区,并使用HEC来检测和校正接收错误。

Discussion: TC is not a measurement, but the speed in which TC can occur on a bit stream can be measured. This measurement will not be discussed in this document; however, its value should be constant and small with respect to cell inter-arrival at the maximum data rate.

讨论:TC不是测量值,但可以测量TC在比特流上发生的速度。本文件不讨论该测量;然而,它的值应该是恒定的,并且相对于最大数据速率下的小区间到达而言很小。

1.2.49. Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)
1.2.49. 未指定比特率(UBR)

Definition: UBR is an ATM service category, which does not specify traffic related service guarantees. Specifically, UBR does not include the notion of a per-connection-negotiated bandwidth. No commitments are made with respect to the cell loss ratio experienced by a UBR connection, or as to the cell transfer delay experienced by cells on the connection.

定义:UBR是一个ATM服务类别,它不指定与流量相关的服务保证。具体而言,UBR不包括每个连接协商带宽的概念。对于UBR连接所经历的小区丢失率,或者对于连接上的小区所经历的小区传输延迟,没有做出任何承诺。

Discussion: RFC 2331 specifies UBR service class for IP over ATM. UBR service models the "best effort" service type specified in RFC 791; however, UBR has specific drawbacks with respect to TCP service. Since UBR makes no guarantee with respect to cell loss (CL), cell delay variation (CDV) or cell mis-insertion(CM), TCP RTT estimates will be highly variable. Further, all negatively impact AAL5 re-assembly, which in turn may cause packet loss. See discussions under CDV and SAR.

讨论:RFC2331为ATM上的IP指定了UBR服务类。UBR服务为RFC 791中规定的“尽力而为”服务类型建模;然而,UBR在TCP服务方面有特定的缺点。由于UBR不能保证小区丢失(CL)、小区延迟变化(CDV)或小区误插入(CM),TCP RTT估计值将是高度可变的。此外,所有这些都会对AAL5重新组装产生负面影响,进而可能导致数据包丢失。参见CDV和SAR下的讨论。

定义:与给定的业务负载、方向和分布以及集成周期相关的小区传输延迟(CTD)的变化。CDV=最大值(CTD)-最小值(CTD),其中最大值和最小值分别表示积分期间的最大值和最小值。

Discussion: CDV is a component of cell transfer delay, induced by buffering and cell scheduling. Peak-to-peak CDV is a QoS delay parameter associated with CBR and VBR services. The peak-to-peak CDV is the ((1-a) quantile of the CTD) minus the fixed CTD that could be experienced by any delivered cell on a connection during the entire connection holding time. The parameter "a" is the probability of a cell arriving late.

讨论:CDV是由缓冲和小区调度引起的小区传输延迟的一个组成部分。峰间CDV是与CBR和VBR服务相关联的QoS延迟参数。峰-峰CDV是((1-a)CTD分位数)减去在整个连接保持时间内连接上任何交付的小区可能经历的固定CTD。参数“a”是单元延迟到达的概率。

CDV effects TCP round trip time calculations. Large values of CDV will adversely effect TCP throughput and cause SAR timeout. See discussion under SAR.

2.2.2.2. Cell Error Ratio (CER)
2.2.2.2. 单元错误率(CER)

Definition: The ratio of cells with payload errors in a transmission in relation to the total number of cells sent in a transmission associated with a given traffic load, orientation and distribution, as well as an integration period. Note that errors occurring in the cell header will cause cell loss at the ATM layer. Note further that multiple errors in a payload will only be counted as one cell payload error.

定义:一次传输中存在有效负载错误的信元与一次传输中发送的信元总数的比率,该传输与给定的业务负载、方向和分布以及积分周期有关。请注意,信元报头中发生的错误将导致ATM层的信元丢失。进一步注意,一个有效负载中的多个错误将仅计为一个小区有效负载错误。

CER = Cells with payload errors / Total Cells Transmitted.

CER=有有效负载错误的小区/传输的小区总数。

Discussion: The measurement is taken over a time interval and is desirable to be measured on an in-service circuit. CER is closely related to the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs; however, there is not a direct numerical correlation between the number of errored cells and the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs. There are two cases described below.

讨论:测量是在一个时间间隔内进行的,最好在运行中的电路上进行测量。CER与损坏的AAL5 PDU数量密切相关;然而,错误单元的数量与损坏的AAL5 PDU的数量之间没有直接的数值相关性。下面描述了两种情况。

1. Only one cell in an AAL5 PDU contains payload errors. In this case, there is a one-to-one correspondence between cell payload errors and the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs.

定义:传输中丢失的信元与传输中发送的总信元的比率,与给定的业务负载、方向和分布以及集成周期有关。

CLR = Lost Cells / Total Cells Transmitted.

CLR=丢失的单元/传输的单元总数。

Discussion: CLR is a negotiated QoS parameter and acceptable values are network specific. The objective is to minimize CLR provided the end-system adapts the traffic to the changing ATM layer transfer characteristics. The CLR parameter is the value of CLR that the network agrees to offer as an objective over the lifetime of the connection. It is expressed as an order of magnitude, having a range of 10^-1 to 10^-15 and unspecified.

讨论:CLR是一个协商的QoS参数,可接受的值是特定于网络的。目标是在终端系统使流量适应不断变化的ATM层传输特性的情况下,使CLR最小化。CLR参数是网络同意在连接生存期内作为目标提供的CLR值。它表示为一个数量级,范围为10^-1至10^-15,未指定。

CLR indicates the number of ATM cells lost in relation to the total number of cells sent. CLR is closely related to the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs; however, there is not a direct numerical correlation between the number of cells lost and the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs. See the discussion under SAR.

CLR表示丢失的ATM信元数与发送的信元总数的关系。CLR与损坏的AAL5 PDU数量密切相关;然而,丢失的单元数量与损坏的AAL5 PDU数量之间没有直接的数值相关性。参见SAR下的讨论。

定义:在一个端点接收到的、源端最初未传输的小区与正确传输的、与给定流量负载、方向和分布以及集成周期相关的小区总数的比率。

CMR = Misinserted Cells / Total Cells Transmitted.

CMR=错误插入的小区/传输的小区总数。

Discussion: The measurement is taken over a time interval and is desirable to be measured on an in-service circuit. CMR is closely related to the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs; however, there is not a direct numerical correlation between the number of mis-inserted cells and the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs. There are two cases described below.

讨论:测量是在一个时间间隔内进行的,最好在运行中的电路上进行测量。CMR与损坏的AAL5 PDU数量密切相关;但是,错误插入的单元数量与损坏的AAL5 PDU数量之间没有直接的数值相关性。下面描述了两种情况。

1. Only one cell is mis-inserted into an AAL5 PDU. In this case, there is a one-to-one correspondence between cell mis-insertion and the number of corrupted AAL5 PDUs.

1. 只有一个单元错误插入AAL5 PDU。在这种情况下,单元错误插入和损坏的AAL5 PDU数量之间存在一对一的对应关系。

Definition: This is a measure of the difference between the effective bandwidth allocation and the allocation for sustainable rate in cells per second.

定义:这是有效带宽分配和可持续速率分配(以每秒小区为单位)之间差异的度量。

Discussion: This measures the amount of provisioned bandwidth which is not utilized. This lack of utilization may be caused by encapsulation overhead, e.g., AAL5 trailer and padding, or by the protocol itself, e.g., TCP usually transmits in only one direction.

讨论:这测量未使用的已调配带宽的数量。这种利用率不足可能是由封装开销(例如AAL5尾部和填充)或协议本身(例如TCP通常只在一个方向上传输)引起的。

Measurement units: Cells per second

定义:特定连接的测量点1(例如,在源UNI)处的小区退出事件与测量点2(例如,目标UNI)处的相应小区进入事件之间经过的时间。

Discussion: The cell transfer delay between two measurement points is the sum of the total inter-ATM node transmission delay and the total ATM node processing delay. While this number is a constant and should not adversely effect performance, it is a component in RTT.

讨论:两个测量点之间的信元传输延迟是总ATM节点间传输延迟和总ATM节点处理延迟之和。虽然这个数字是一个常数,不会对性能产生不利影响,但它是RTT中的一个组成部分。

Discussion: This measurement assumes that the switch has checked the network prefix status object and the end system has checked the ATM address status object. In the case where the end system checks the ATM address status object only after the switch has issued a set request of the network prefix status object, this measurement will not reflect the actual time required to complete the address registration.

讨论:此测量假设交换机已检查网络前缀状态对象,终端系统已检查ATM地址状态对象。如果终端系统仅在交换机发出网络前缀状态对象的设置请求后才检查ATM地址状态对象,则该测量将不会反映完成地址注册所需的实际时间。
