  1. Delay Variation Applicability Statementdraft-morton-ippm-delay-var-as-02 March 21, 2007 Al Morton Benoit Claise “

  2. Recap of activity since IETF-67 • Benoit Claise read the draft (through the early comparison section) and shared comments with Al off-list. • Al summarized those comments on list, and produced the -01.txt version (Nov 27, 2006). • Benoit completed his review and summarized all his comments on the list (Dec 1, 2006). • Al and Benoit discussed these comments over the next few months. • -02.txt version March 4, 2007 with Benoit as co-author. • much new material and questions for IPPM WG discussion

  3. Applicability Problem: “How will the results be used?” • Krzanowski introduced the Delay Variation Problem at IETF-64 • “How” Question asked at IETF-65, no suggestions yet • RFC 3393 lists two key uses for the Delay Variation Metric • Memo Considers these 2 Tasks and 2 Special Circumstances Network Characterization: Inferring Queue Occupation on a Path Application Performance Estimation: Sizing of De-Jitter Buffers What about Spatial Composition ? DST SRC What if circumstances are challenging?

  5. Inter-Packet Delay Var. (selection f = previous packet) Src Dst T1 IPDV(2) = (R2-R1) – (T2-T1) R1 T2 R2 T3 R3 T4 (5)(2) (4) (3) T5 R4 IPDV(4) = (R4-R3) – (T4-T3) R5

  6. Packet Delay Variation(selection f = minimum delay pkt in stream) Src Dst T1 PDV(3) = (R3-T3) – (R2-T2) R1 T2 (1,3,5) R2 (minimum) T3 R3 T4 (2) (4) T5 R4 PDV(4) = (R4-T4) – (R2-T2) R5

  7. Summary of Comparisons • Challenging Circumstances for measurement: • IPDV form offers advantages when • Path changes are Frequent • Meas. System Clocks exhibit significant Skew • PDV form is less sensitive to Packet Loss • Spatial Composition of DV metric: • All known methods use PDV, • IPDV sensitivity to sequence is an issue • Estimate of Queuing Time & Variation: • PDV estimates this, especially when sample min = true min • Determine De-jitter Buffer Size Required • PDV “pseudo-range” reveals this property by anchoring the distribution at the minimum delay

  8. Examples from IPPM List Discussion (2000) Ex. A – Smooth Trend IPDV Range = (-10, 10) PDV Range = ( 0, 50 ) Ex. B – Faster Var with loss IPDV Range = (-20, 40) PDV Range = ( 0, 50 ) How can the detailed information IPDV provides be used? (to complete some task)

  9. What if there is load-balancing in the network? Load- balancing is based on the IGP metrics, while the delay depends on the path. So, we could have a multi-modal distribution, if we send test packets with different characteristics such as IP addresses/ports. • Should the delay singletons using multiple addresses/ports be combined in the same sample? The PDV form makes the identification of multiple modes possible. • Should we characterize each mode separately? • This question also applies to the Path Change case.

  10. New Sections • Section 8: Measurement Considerations for Vendors, Testers, and Users • This section provides guidance in many areas – Useful? • Do we want to recommend measuring BOTH IPDV and PDV? • Do we want to reconstruct the IPDV and DV later on, with a different interval? • Appendix: Guidance for reducing DV in networks • Useful? • Appendix: Calculation of the Minimum Delay, D(min) • how is this D(min) calculated? Is it DV(99%) as mentioned by Roman in http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/05nov/slides/ippm-3.pdf? • do we need to keep all the values from the interval, then take the minimum? • Or do we keep the minimum from previous intervals?

  11. Summary • IPDV and PDV each have their Strengths and Weaknesses • Suggestions for additional Tasks & Circumstances • Need Feedback on newly proposed sections and questions raised in the text of the draft.
