Quality of Service Requirements (1)

• Real-time applications• Interactive applications are sensitive to packet delays

(telephone)

• Non-interactive applications can adapt to a wider range of packet delays (audio, video broadcasts)

• Guarantee of maximum delay is useful

4The ReSerVation Protocol

Quality of Service Requirements (2)

• Elastic applications• Interactive data transfer (e.g. HTTP, FTP)

• Sensitive to the average delay, not to the distribution tail

• Bulk data transfer (e.g. mail and news delivery)• Delay insensitive

• Best effort works well

Document is only useful when it is completely received. This means average packet delay is important, not maximum packet delay.Document

Discussion

• What is the problem?• Different applications have different delay, bandwidth,

and jitter needs

• Some applications are very sensitive to changing network conditions: the packet arrival time distribution is important

• Solutions• Make applications adaptive

• Build more flexibility into network

6The ReSerVation Protocol

RSVP and TCP

• RSVP provides a bandwidth reservation

• TCP is not a constant bitrate service• Slow start gives exponential growth until loss

• Periodic probes for higher bandwidth

• TCP behavior leads to best effort delivery

RSVP Overview• What is RSVP?

• Method for application to specify desired QoS to net

• Switch state establishment protocol (signaling)

• Multicast friendly, receiver-oriented

• Simplex reservations (single direction)

• Why run RSVP?• Allows precise allocation of network resources

• Guarantees on quality of service

• Heterogeneous bandwidth support for multicast

Page 8: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

8The ReSerVation Protocol

RSVP Design Criteria

• Heterogeneous receivers (multicast)• Varying bandwidth needs

• Merging of resource reservations

• Dynamic membership

• Minimize control protocol overhead

• Soft state in routers• Reservations timeout if not refreshed periodically

• Adapt to routing changes gracefully: reestablish reservations

Page 9: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

9The ReSerVation Protocol

RSVP and Integrated services• The best-effort service provided by the original Internet design allows

congestion-caused end-to end delays to grow indefinitely. • To better support real-time applications, e.g., packet voice, packet

video, and distributed simulation, an extension to the Internet architecture has been developed.

• This extension is known as integrated services, and a network that supports it is called an integrated services packet network (ISPN).

• With integrated services, an end system can request a particular quality of service (QoS), e.g., bounded end-to-end queueing delay, for

a particular data flow. Providing the QoS generally requires reservation of network resources

in routers hosts along the path(s) of the flow as well as in the end hosts.

• In order to provide a requested QoS, the nodes of an ISPN must perform reservation setup, admission control, policy control, packet scheduling, and packet classification functions.

• Figure 1 illustrates these functions in an ISPN router.

11The ReSerVation Protocol

Functioning of RSVP• Each node capable of resource reservation has several local procedures

for reservation setup and enforcement (see Figure 1).• Policy control determines whether the user has administrative

permission to make the reservation.• In the future, authentication, access control and accounting for

reservation will also be implemented by policy control.• Admission control keeps track of the system resources and determines

whether the node has sufficient resources to supply the requested QoS.• The RSVP daemon checks with both procedures. If either check fails,

the RSVP program returns an error notification to the application that originated the request.

• If both checks succeed, the RSVP daemon sets parameters in the packet classifier and packet scheduler to obtain the requested QoS.

• The packet classifier determines the QoS class for each packet and the packet scheduler orders packet transmission to achieve the promised QoS for each stream.

13The ReSerVation Protocol

What is a flow?

• Equivalent packets by some classification• RSVP: Set of packets traversing a network element that

are all covered by the same QoS request

• Packet classifier determines which packets belong to which flows• IPv6 includes a flow label to ease classification

Page 14: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

14The ReSerVation Protocol

Describing and Identifying a Flow

• Flowspec defines traffic parameters• Traffic parameters: bandwidth, buffering requirements

• Filterspec identifies packets in flow• Simplest filter: Source, Dest address/port pair

• Data filter: classifies packets according to contents

Page 15: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

15The ReSerVation Protocol

Restrictions on Reservations

• Admissions• Is bandwidth available?

• Policy• Permissions

• Pricing issues

Page 16: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

16The ReSerVation Protocol

Resource Reservation Model

• Senders advertise using flowspecs

• RSVP daemons forward advertisements to receivers, update available bandwidth, minimum delay

• Receivers reservations use flowspec, filterspec combination (flow descriptor)

• Sender/receiver notified of changes

• Reservations are merged in multicast case

Page 17: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

17The ReSerVation Protocol

.• . Reservation Setup

• A reservation setup protocol is used to pass the QoS request originating in an end-system

• to each router along the data path, or in the case of multicasting, to each router along the branches of the delivery tree.

• An RSVP reservation request is basically composed of a flowspec and a filter spec.

• The flowspec defines the desired QoS, and the filter spec defines the subset of the data stream, i.e, the flow, that is to receive this QoS.

Page 18: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

18The ReSerVation Protocol

.• RSVP messages are:• Sent as data grams directly over IP• Periodically resent:• to refresh reservation state• to substitute lost messages• Message types:• PATH• Sender characterizes outgoing traffic in terms of upper and lower

bounds of bandwidth, delay and jitter. The PATH message contains this traffic specification (TSpec) information to the unicast or multicast address

• Each RSVP enabled router along the downstream route establishes a “path-state” that includes the previous source address of the PATH message (i.e., the next hop “upstream” towards the sender

• RESV• To make a resource reservation, receiver sends a RESV (reservation

request) message “upstream”. In addition to the TSpec, the RESV message includes a request specification (RSpe

RSpec + filter spec = flow-descriptor which the routers use to identify each reservation

• Error messages (PathErr, ResvErr)• Teardown messages (PathTear, ResvTear)

Our Test Results

• RSVP daemon failed near 5 reservations• Incorrectly implemented daemon on non-leaf routers

• Kernel crashes and control data corruption

• Debugging tools also failed

• Solaris implementation worked better

• Unable to complete our tests

• Conclusion: tools, daemon still immature

Stony Brook Performance Test

• Tzi-cker Chiueh and Anindya Neogi (New York State Univ at Stony Brook)

• Testbed• Cisco router using WFQ for real-time connections

• Precept software for flow generation and reservations

• Measured performance using a varying numbers of real-time sessions

Page 36: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

36The ReSerVation Protocol

Stony Brook Performance Results

• Control traffic overhead was minimal

• Control messages should be sent at high priority

• Real-time packet classification and scheduling has significant overhead• Packet losses show up at 400 sessions

• Too much work for WFQ classifier, scheduler

• FIFO scheduler on non-real-time traffic worked

• Effective link bandwidth lowered

Page 37: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

37The ReSerVation Protocol

Other Reservation Technologies

• The telephone network• Single, basic service (64Kbs)

• Guaranteed, low delay resources

• Circuit based system

• ATM

Page 38: 1The ReSerVation Protocol RSVP: The ReSerVation Protocol.

38The ReSerVation Protocol

Will RSVP Succeed?

• Telcos and long-haul ISPs want constant bit-rate allocations• RSVP will not control backbone allocations

• Need simpler mechanism such as differentiated service

• Microsoft, networking vendors see demand for QoS over IP• RSVP is only alternative today

• RSVP might find a home in corporate networks

• Current implementations immature• Internet 2 testbed will experiment with deployment
