Dunn +Request for Comments: 3134 C. Martin +Category: Informational ANC, Inc. + June 2001 + + + Terminology for ATM ABR Benchmarking + +Status of this Memo + + This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does + not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this + memo is unlimited. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2001). All Rights Reserved. + +Abstract + + 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 supporting + ABR (Available Bit Rate). The terms defined in this memo will be + used in addition to terms defined in RFCs 1242, 2285, and 2544 and + 2761. This memo is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working + Group (BMWG) of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). + +1. Introduction + + This document provides terminology for benchmarking ATM based + switching devices supporting ABR. It extends terminology already + defined for benchmarking network interconnect devices in RFC's 1242, + 2285, and 2544 and 2761. 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 + ABR. + + This memo contains two major sections: Background and Definitions. + The background section provides the reader with an overview of the + technology and IETF formalisms. The definitions section is split + into two sub-sections. The formal definitions sub-section is + provided as a courtesy to the reader. The measurement definitions + sub-section contains performance metrics with inherent units. + + 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 + + + +Dunn & Martin Informational [Page 1] + +RFC 3134 Terminology for ATM ABR Benchmarking June 2001 + + + 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). 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. + + 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. + +2. Existing Definitions. + + RFC 1242, "Benchmarking Terminology for Network Interconnect + Devices", should be consulted before attempting to make use of this + document. RFC 2544, "Benchmarking Methodology for Network + Interconnect Devices", contains discussions of a number of terms + relevant to the benchmarking of switching devices and should be + consulted. RFC 2285, "Benchmarking Terminology for LAN Switching + Devices", contains a number of terms pertaining to traffic + distributions and datagram interarrival. RFC 2761, "Terminology for + ATM Benchmarking", contains a number terms pertaining to traffic + management [TM4.0, TM4.1]. Many of the metrics defined in RFC 2761 + (e.g., CDV, CER, CLR, CMR, and CTD) also apply to ABR performance + benchmarking. These metrics will not be redefined in this document. + For the sake of clarity and continuity, this RFC adopts the template + for definitions set out in Section 2 of RFC 1242. + +II. Definitions + + The definitions presented in this section have been divided into two + groups. The first group is formal definitions, which are required in + the definitions of the performance metrics but are not themselves + strictly metrics. These definitions are subsumed from other work + done in other working groups both inside and outside the IETF. They + are provided as a courtesy to the reader. + +1. Formal Definitions + +1.1. Definition Format (from RFC 1242) + + Term to be defined. + + Definition: The specific definition for the term. + + + + + +Dunn & Martin Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 3134 Terminology for ATM ABR Benchmarking June 2001 + + + Discussion: A brief discussion of the term, its application and any + restrictions on measurement procedures. + + Specification: The working group and document in which the terms are + specified and are listed in the references section. + +1.2. Related Definitions. + +1.2.1. Allowed Cell Rate (ACR) + + Definition: An ABR service parameter, ACR is the current rate + (cells/second) at which a source is allowed to send. + + Discussion: For ABR traffic, ACR constitutes the actual data + throughput for a particular VC. The time change of this value + effects TCP round trip time calculations, which in turn effects TCP + throughput. + + Specification: AF-TM4.0 + +1.2.2. ACR Decrease Time Factor (ADTF) + + Definition: This is the time permitted between sending RM-cells + before the rate is decreased to ICR (Initial Cell Rate). The time + units are .01 to 10.23 seconds with a granularity of 10 ms. + + Discussion: For ABR traffic, ADTF constitutes the time rate of the + ACR. This value effects TCP round trip time calculations, which in + turn effects TCP throughput. + + Specification: AF-TM4.0 + +1.2.3. Additive Increase Rate (AIR) + + Definition: An ABR service parameter, AIR controls the rate at which + the cell transmission rate increases. It is signaled as AIRF, where + + AIRF = AIR*Nrm/PCR. + + Discussion: For ABR traffic, AIR effects the time rate of change of + the ACR. This value effects TCP round trip time calculations, which + in turn effects TCP throughput. + + Specification: AF-TM4.0 + +1.2.4. Additive Increase Rate Factor (AIRF) + + Definition: Refer to AIR. + + + +Dunn & Martin Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 3134 Terminology for ATM ABR Benchmarking June 2001 + + + Discussion: Refer to AIR. + + Specification: AF-TM4.0 + +1.2.5. Available Bit Rate (ABR) + + Definition: ABR is an ATM layer service category for which the + limiting ATM layer transfer characteristics provided by the network + may change subsequent to connection establishment. A flow control + mechanism is specified which supports several types of feedback to + control the source rate in response to changing ATM layer transfer + characteristics. + + Discussion: It is expected that an end-system that adapts its traffic + in accordance with the feedback will experience a low cell loss ratio + and obtain a fair share of the available bandwidth according to a + network specific allocation policy. Cell delay variation is not + controlled in this service, although admitted cells are not delayed + unnecessarily. + + Specification: AF-TM4.1 + +1.2.6. Available Bit Rate (ABR) Compliance (Conformance) + + Definition: ABR connection conformance refers to the behavior + specified for ABR destination and switches, but allows for delays + between the source and the UNI [UNI3.1, UNI4.0], which may perturb + the traffic flow. + + Discussion: The cells on an ABR connection applies to CLP=0 cells, + which are tested upon arrival.

Congestion Indication (CI) + + Definition: The CI bit in the RM-cell allows a network element to + indicate that there is congestion in the network. + + Discussion: When the source receives a backward RM-cell with CI=1, + ACR is decreased. When the destination turns around a forward RM- + cell, the CI is set to 1 to indicate that the previously received + data cell had the EFCI state set. + + Specification: AF-TM4.1 + +1.2.11. Cutoff Decrease Factor (CDF) + + Definition: CDF controls the decrease in ACR (Allowed Cell Rate) + associated with CRM (missing RM cell count). + + Discussion: For ABR traffic, CDF effects the time rate of change of + the ACR.

DIR + + Definition: The DIR bit in the RM-cell indicates which direction of + data flow is associated with the RM-cell. DIR is changed from 0 to 1 + when an RM-cell is turned around at the destination. + + Discussion: A forward RM-cell is indicated by DIR=0 and is associated + with data cells flowing in the same direction. A backward RM-cell is + indicated by DIR=1 and is associated with data cells flowing in the + opposite direction. + + Specification: AF-TM4.1 + +1.2.13. Explicit Rate (ER) + + Definition: The ER field in the RM-cell is used to limit the source + ACR to a specific value. For each RM-cell, ER is set by the source + to a requested rate (e.g., PCR). It may be reduced by any network + element in the path to a value that the element can sustain. ER is + formatted as a rate. + + Discussion: None. + + Specification: AF-TM4.1 + +1.2.14. Feedback + + Definition: Information carried in the backward RM-cells provided by + the network elements and/or the destination back to the source. + + Discussion: Feedback may include information in the ER field, or the + CI or NI bits of each backward RM-cell. + + Specification: AF-TM4.1 + +1.2.15. Ideal Transmission Time (ITT) + + Definition: The transmission time for ABR CLP=0 cells, if the + difference between itself and the transmission time for the previous + CLP=0 cell on the connection is greater than or equal to the minimum: + a) the inverse of the ACR in effect immediately after the + transmission time of the first of the two cells b) the inverse of the + ACR in effect immediately before the transmission time of the second + of the two cells. + + Discussion: The transmission time for the first cell on the + connection is automatically an ITT. + + + + +Dunn & Martin Informational [Page 6] + +RFC 3134 Terminology for ATM ABR Benchmarking June 2001 + + + Specification: AF-TM4.1 + +1.2.16.

Minimum Cell Rate (MCR) + + Definition: An ABR service traffic descriptor, in cells/sec, that is + the rate at which the source is always allowed to send. + + Discussion: MCR may be set to zero. The bandwidth available from the + network may vary, but shall not become less than MCR. + + Specification: AF-TM4.1 + +1.2.19. Mrm + + Definition: An ABR service parameter that controls allocation of + bandwidth between forward W-cells, backward RM-cells, and data cells. + + Discussion: none. + + Specification: AF-TM4.0 + +1.2.20.

RM-Cell Transfer Delay (RM-CTD) + + Definition: The elapsed time between a RM-cell exit event at the + measurement point 1 (e.g., at the source UNI) and the corresponding + RM-cell entry event at a measurement point 2 (e.g., the destination + UNI) for a particular connection. + + Discussion: The RM-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. This number is a constant and + should not adversely effect performance. + + Measurement units: seconds + +2.2.9. Severely Errored Cell Block Ratio (SECBR) + + Definition: The ratio of severely errored cell blocks in a + transmission in relation to the total cell blocks sent in a + transmission associated with a given traffic load, orientation and + distribution, as well as an integration period. + + SECBR = Severely Errored Cell Blocks/Total Transmitted Cell Blocks + + + +Dunn & Martin Informational [Page 14] + +RFC 3134 Terminology for ATM ABR Benchmarking June 2001 + + + Discussion: SECBR may cause the SUT to drop cells that may contain a + portion of an IP datagram.
