Inter-Operator Interfaces for End-to-End IP QoS

Tequila WS, Amsterdam, 25-26 January 2001

Background• Interconnected IP network operators trading

managed IP QoS, end-to-end• Bi-lateral Service Level Agreements (SLA)• QoS implemented in each operator’s domain

– IETF IntServ, DiffServ, MPLS or combination(s)• IP QoS scenarios

– basic IP QoS cross-connection, – VPN and – VoIP

Roles and InterfacesTrading Roles

– seller– buyer

Responsibilities– IP Network Domain– Service Provider– Service Customer– Service Customer’s

ClientInteraction

– Logical relationship between roles– Physical interfaces, protocols

Trade the components of IP QoS services just as in e-commerce

Interface Points (1)• Business perspective

business relationship between seller/buyer– service management

• Network perspectivephysical interfaces between systems

– configuration– performance management

• Plane-wise– control / management / user planes

Traffic Conditioning SpecificationService Description

Traffic Forecast

Basic Trading Model

1. Service Description (SD)• Service Name,• Service Performance Parameters (edge- to-

edge delay, jitter, loss),• Pipe | Funnel | Hose info propagation model,• Provisioning (static, by RSVP, by BB, by

both),• Service Code Mark(s) (DSCP(s)),• Action On Non-Conforming Traffic (drop,

shape, remark)

2. Traffic Conditioning Specification (TCS)• SLS Reference• SD Reference,• Traffic Descriptor (source/ dest.)• Traffic Profile (rate, burst size)• Scope (ingress, egress)

3. Traffic Forecast (TF)• TCS Reference• Projected Increase/ Decrease• Time

Tequila WS, Amsterdam, 25-26 January 2001

Trading Example ~ IP QoS Cross-Connection ~• Similar to a BE transit service, but with defined QoS• End-to-end QoS• Service Customer can be:

• DiffServ and/or IntServ aware • neither DiffServ nor IntServ aware

Summary• Goal

– automated SLS management system• Delivered results

– State of the art study – Management scenarios and requirements– Measurement metrics and methodologies

• Current work– Specify an inter-domain QoS management interface

25

Inter-Operator Interfaces for End-to-End IP QoS

Tequila WS, Amsterdam, 25-26 January 2001

Future WorkEURESCOM P1103• The goal is to validate, extend and enhance the Inter-

operator IP QoS provisioning framework of P1008 from both technical and business perspectives

• Two case studies– compatibility with PSTN telephony services (e.g., IN service,

Value Added services, control protocol aspects)– UMTS – IP QoS interoperability

• Identifying accounting and pricing requirements and cost principles for this service (e.g., Support QoS rebates, etc);
