Broadband Performance
draft-ietf-ippm-lmap-path-07
Abstract
This document defines a reference path for Large-scale Measurement of
Broadband Access Performance (LMAP) and measurement points for
commonly used performance metrics. Other similar measurement
projects may also be able to use the extensions described here for

1. Introduction
This document defines a reference path for Large-scale Measurement of
Broadband Access Performance (LMAP) or similar measurement projects.
The series of IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) RFCs have developed terms
that are generally useful for path description (section 5 of
[RFC2330]). There are a limited number of additional terms needing
definition here, and they will be defined in this memo.
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
The reference path (See section 3.1 and Figure 1 of [Y.1541],
including the accompanying discussion) is usually needed when
attempting to communicate precisely about the components that
comprise the path, often in terms of their number (hops) and
geographic location. This memo takes the path definition further, by
establishing a set of measurement points along the path and ascribing
a unique designation to each point. This topic has been previously
developed in section 5.1 of [RFC3432], and as part of the updated
framework for composition and aggregation, section 4 of [RFC5835].
Section 4.1 of [RFC5835] defines the term "measurement point".
Measurement points and the paths they inhabit are often described in
general terms, like "end-to-end", "user-to-user", or "access". These
terms alone are insufficient for scientific method: What is an end?
Where is a user located? Is the home network included?
As an illustrative example, consider a measurement agent in an LMAP
system. When it reports its measurement results, rather than
detailing its IP address and that of its measurement peer, it may
prefer to describe the measured path segment abstractly (perhaps for
privacy reasons). For instance "from a measurement agent at a home
gateway to a measurement peer at a DSLAM". This memo provides the
definition for such abstract 'measurement points' and therefore the
portion of 'reference path' between them.
The motivation for this memo is to provide an unambiguous framework
to describe measurement coverage, or scope of the reference path.
This is an essential part of the meta-data to describe measurement
results. Measurements conducted over different path scopes are not a
valid basis for performance comparisons. We note that additional
measurement context information may be necessary to support a valid
comparison of results.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Purpose and Scope
The scope of this memo is to define a reference path for LMAP
activities with sufficient level of detail to determine the location
of different measurement points along a path without ambiguity.
These conventions are likely to be useful in other measurement
projects as well, and in describing the applicable measurement scope
for some metrics.
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
The connection between the reference path and specific network
technologies (with differing underlying architectures) is within the
scope of this method, and examples are provided. Both wired and
wireless technologies are in-scope.
The purpose is to create an efficient way to describe the location of
the measurement point(s) used to conduct a particular measurement so
that the measurement result will adequately described in terms of
scope or coverage. This should serve many measurement uses,
including:
diagnostic: where the same metric would be measured on different
sub-paths bounded by measurement points (see Section 4.10
of[RFC5835]), for example to isolate the sub-path contributing the
majority of impairment levels observed on a path.
comparison: where the same metric may be measured on equivalent
portions of different network infrastructures, for example to
compare the performance of wired and wireless home network
technologies.
3. Terms and Definitions
This section defines key terms and concepts for the purposes of this
memo.
3.1. Reference Path
A reference path is a serial combination of hosts, routers, switches,
links, radios, and processing elements that comprise all the network
elements traversed by each packet in a flow between the source and
destination hosts. A reference path also indicates the various
boundaries present, such as administrative boundaries. A reference
path is intended to be equally applicable to all IP and link-layer
networking technologies. Therefore, the components are generically
defined but their functions should have a clear counterpart or be
obviously omitted in any network architecture.
3.2. Subscriber
An entity (associated with one or more users) that is engaged in a
subscription with a service provider. The subscriber is allowed to
subscribe and un-subscribe to services, and to register a user or a
list of users authorized to enjoy these services. [Q1741] Both the
subscriber and service provider are allowed to set the limits
relative to the use that associated users make of subscribed
services.
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
3.3. Dedicated Component (Links or Nodes)
All resources of a Dedicated Component (typically a link or node on
the Reference Path) are allocated to serving the traffic of an
individual Subscriber. Resources include transmission time-slots,
queue space, processing for encapsulation and address/port
translation, and others. A Dedicated Component can affect the
performance of the Reference Path, or the performance of any sub-path
where the component is involved.
3.4. Shared Component (Links or Nodes)
A component on the Reference Path is designated a Shared Component
when the traffic associated with multiple Subscribers is served by
common resources.
3.5. Resource Transition Point
A point between Dedicated and Shared Components on a Reference Path
that may be a point of significance, and is identified as a
transition between two types of resources.
3.6. Service Demarcation Point
This is the point where service managed by the service provider
begins (or ends), and varies by technology. For example, this point
is usually defined as the Ethernet interface on a residential gateway
or modem where the scope of a packet transfer service begins and
ends. In the case of a WiFi Service, this would be an Air Interface
within the intended service boundary (e.g., walls of the coffee
shop). The Demarcation Point may be within an integrated endpoint
using an Air Interface (e.g., Long-Term Evolution User Equipment, LTE
UE). Ownership does not necessarily affect the demarcation point; a
Subscriber may own all equipment on their premises, but it is likely
that the service provider will certify such equipment for connection
to their network, or a third-party will certify standards compliance.
3.7. Managed and Un-Managed Sub-paths
Service providers are responsible for the portion of the path they
manage. However, most paths involve a sub-path which is beyond the
management of the subscriber's service provider. This means that
private networks, wireless networks using unlicensed frequencies, and
the networks of other service are designated as Un-managed sub-paths.
The Service Demarcation Point always divides Managed and Un-managed
sub-paths.
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
4. Reference Path
This section defines a reference path for Internet communication.
Subsc. -- Private -- Private -- Service-- Intra IP -- GRA -- Transit ...
device Net #1 Net #2 Demarc. Access GW GRA GW
... Transit -- GRA -- Service -- Private -- Private -- Destination
GRA GW GW Demarc. Net #n Net #n+1 Host
GRA = Globally Routable Address, GW = Gateway
The following are descriptions of reference path components that may
not be clear from their name alone.
o Subsc. (Subscriber) device - This is a host that normally
originates and terminates communications conducted over the IP
packet transfer service.
o Private Net #x - This is a network of devices owned and operated
by the Internet Service Subscriber. In some configurations, one
or more private networks and the device that provides the Service
Demarcation point are collapsed in a single device (and ownership
may shift to the service provider), and this should be noted as
part of the path description.
o Intra IP Access - This is the first point in the access
architecture beyond the Service Demarc. where a globally routable
IP address is exposed and used for routing. In architectures that
use tunneling, this point may be equivalent to the Globally
Routable Address Gateway (GRA GW). This point could also collapse
to the device providing the Service Demarc., in principle. Only
one Intra IP Access point is shown, but they can be identified in
any access network.
o GRA GW - the point of interconnection between a Service Provider's
administrative domain and the rest of the Internet, where routing
will depend on the GRAs in the IP header.
o Transit GRA GW - If one or more networks intervene between the
Service Provider's access networks of the Subscriber and of the
Destination Host, then such networks are designated "transit" and
are bounded by two Transit GRA GW.
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
Use of multiple IP address families in the measurement path must be
noted, as the conversions between IPv4 and IPv6 certainly influence
the visibility of a GRA for each family.
In the case that a private address space is used throughout an access
architecture, then the Intra IP Access points must use the same
address space as the Service Demarcation point, and the Intra IP
Access points must be selected such that a test between these points
produces a useful assessment of access performance (e.g., includes
both shared and dedicated access link infrastructure).
5. Measurement Points
A key aspect of measurement points, beyond the definition in section
4.1 of [RFC5835], is that the innermost IP header and higher layer
information must be accessible through some means. This is essential
to measure IP metrics. There may be tunnels and/or other layers
which encapsulate the innermost IP header, even adding another IP
header of their own.
In general, measurement points cannot always be located exactly where
desired. However, the definition in [RFC5835] and the discussion in
section 5.1 of [RFC3432] indicate that allowances can be made: for
example, it is nearly ideal when there are deterministic errors that
can be quantified between desired and actual measurement point.
The Figure below illustrates the assignment of measurement points to
selected components of the reference path.
Subsc. -- Private -- Private -- Service-- Intra IP -- GRA -- Transit ...
device Net #1 Net #2 Demarc. Access GW GRA GW
mp000 mp100 mp150 mp190 mp200
... Transit -- GRA -- Service -- Private -- Private -- Destination
GRA GW GW Demarc. Net #n Net #n+1 Host
mpX90 mp890 mp800 mp900
GRA = Globally Routable Address, GW = Gateway
Figure 1
Each measurement point on a specific reference path MUST be assigned
a unique number. To facilitate interpretation of the results, the
measuring organisation (and whoever it shares results with) MUST have
an unambiguous understanding of what path or point was measured. In
order to achieve this, a set of numbering recommendations follow.
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
When communicating the results of measurements, the measuring
organization SHOULD supply a diagram similar to Figure 1 (with the
technology-specific information in examples that follow), and MUST
supply it when additional measurement point numbers have been defined
and used, with sufficient detail to identify measurement locations in
the path.
Ideally, the consumer of measurement results would know the location
of a measurement point on the reference path from the measurement
point number alone, and the recommendations below provide a way to
accomplish this goal. Although the initial numbering may be fully
compliant with this system, network growth, consolidation, and re-
arrangement, or circumstances such as ownership changes, could cause
gaps in network numbers or non-monotonic measurement point number
assignments along the path over time. These are examples of
reasonable causes for numbering deviations which must be identified
on the reference path diagram, as required above.
Whilst the numbering of a measurement point is in the context of a
particular path, for simplicity the measuring organisation SHOULD use
the same numbering for a device (playing the same role) on all the
measurement paths through it. Similarly, whilst the measurement
point numbering is in the context of a particular measuring
organisation, organizations with similar technologies and
architectures are encouraged to coordinate on local numbering and
diagrams.
The measurement point numbering system, mpXnn, has two independent
parts:
1. The X in mpXnn indicates the network number. The network with
the Subscriber's device is network 0. The network of a different
organization (administrative or ownership domains) SHOULD be
assigned a different number. Each successive network number
SHOULD be one greater than the previous network's number. Two
circumstances make it necessary to designate X=9 in the
Destination Host's network and X=8 for the Service Provider
network at the Destination:
A. The number of Transit networks is unknown.
B. The number of Transit networks varies over time.
2. The nn in mpXnn indicates the measurement point and is locally-
assigned by network X. The following conventions are suggested:
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
A. 00 SHOULD be used for a measurement point at the Subscriber's
device and at the Service Demarcation point or GW nearest to
the Subscriber's device for Transit Networks.
B. 90 SHOULD be used for a measurement point at the GW of a
network (opposite from the Subscriber's device or Service
Demarc.).
C. In most networks, measurement point numbers SHOULD
monotonically increase from the point nearest the
Subscriber's device to the opposite network boundary on the
path (see below).
D. When a Destination host is part of the path, 00 SHOULD be
used for a measurement point at the Destination host and at
the Destination's Service Demarcation point. Measurement
point numbers SHOULD monotonically increase from the point
nearest the Destination's host to the opposite network
boundary on the path ONLY in these networks. This
directional numbering reversal allows consistent 00
designation for end hosts and Service Demarcs.
E. 50 MAY be used for an intermediate measurement point of
significance, such as a Network Address Translator (NAT).
F. 20 MAY be used for a traffic aggregation point such as a
DSLAM within a network.
G. Any other measurement points SHOULD be assigned unused
integers between 01 and 99. The assignment SHOULD be stable
for at least the duration of a particular measurement study,
and SHOULD avoid numbers that have been assigned to other
locations within network X (unless the assignment is
considered sufficiently stale). Sub-networks or domains
within a network are useful locations for measurement points.
When supplying a diagram of the reference path and measurement
points, the operator of the measurement system MUST indicate: the
reference path, the numbers (mpXnn) of the measurement points, and
the technology-specific definition of any measurement point other
than X00 and X90 with sufficient detail to clearly define its
location (similar to the technology-specific examples in Section 6 of
this document).
If the number of intermediate networks (between the source and
destination) is not known or is unstable, then this SHOULD be
indicated on the diagram and results from measurement points within
those networks need to be treated with caution.
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
Notes:
o The terminology "on-net" and "off-net" is sometimes used when
referring to the Subscriber's Internet Service Provider (ISP)
measurement coverage. With respect to the reference path, tests
between mp100 and mp190 are "on-net".
o Widely deployed broadband Internet access measurements have used
pass-through devices[SK] (at the subscriber's location) directly
connected to the service demarcation point: this would be located
at mp100.
o The networking technology must be indicated for the measurement
points used, especially the interface standard and configured
speed (because the measurement connectivity itself can be a
limiting factor for the results).
o If it can be shown that a link connecting to a measurement point
has reliably deterministic performance or negligible impairments,
then the remote end of the connecting link is an equivalent point
for some methods of measurement (although those methods should
describe this possibility in detail; it is not in-scope to provide
such methods here). In any case, the presence of a link and
claimed equivalent measurement point must be reported.
o Some access network architectures may have an additional traffic
aggregation device between mp100 and mp150. Use of a measurement
point at this location would require a local number and diagram.
o A Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) deployed in the Service Provider's
access network would be positioned between mp100 and mp190, and
the egress side of the CGN may be designated mp150. mp150 is
generally an intermediate measurement point in the same address
space as mp190.
o In the case that private address space is used in an access
architecture, then mp100 may need to use the same address space as
its "on-net" measurement point counterpart, so that a test between
these points produces a useful assessment of network performance.
Tests between mp000 and mp100 could use a different private
address space, and when the globally-routable side of a CGN is at
mp150, then the private address side of the CGN could be
designated mp149 for tests with mp100.
o Measurement points at Transit GRA GWs are numbered mpX00 and
mpX90, where X is the lowest positive integer not already used in
the path. The GW of the first transit network is shown, with
point mp200 and the last transit network GW with mpX90.

6. Translation Between Reference Path and Various Technologies
This section and those that follow are intended to provide example
mappings between particular network technologies and the reference
path.
We provide an example for 3G Cellular access below.
Subscriber -- Private --- Service ------------- GRA --- Transit ...
device Net #1 Demarc. GW GRA GW
mp000 mp100 mp190 mp200
|_____________UE______________|___RAN+Core____|___GGSN__|
|_____Un-managed sub-path_____|____Managed sub-path_____|
GRA = Globally Routable Address, GW = Gateway, UE = User Equipment,
RAN = Radio Access Network, GGSN = Gateway GPRS Support Node.
We next provide an example of DSL access. Consider the case where:
o The Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) has a NAT device that is
configured with a public IP address.
o The CPE is a home router that has also an incorporated a WiFi
access point and this is the only networking device in the home
network, all endpoints attach directly to the CPE though the WiFi
access.
We believe this is a fairly common configuration in some parts of the
world and fairly simple as well.
This case would map into the defined reference measurement points as
follows:
Subsc. -- Private -- Private -- Service-- Intra IP -- GRA -- Transit ...
device Net #1 Net #2 Demarc. Access GW GRA GW
mp000 mp100 mp150 mp190 mp200
|--UE--|------------CPE/NAT--------|------|-BRAS-|------|
|------DSL Network---|
|_______Un-managed sub-path________|__Managed sub-path__|
GRA = Globally Routable Address, GW = Gateway, BRAS = Broadband
Remote Access Server
Consider next another access network case where:
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
o The Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) is a NAT device that is
configured with a private IP address.
o There is a Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) located deep in the Access ISP
network.
o The CPE is a home router that has also an incorporated a WiFi
access point and this is the only networking device in the home
network, all endpoints attach directly to the CPE though the WiFi
access.
We believe this is becoming a fairly common configuration in some
parts of the world.
This case would map into the defined reference measurement points as
follows:
Subsc. -- Private ------------- Service-- Intra IP -- GRA -- Transit ...
device Net #1 Demarc. Access GW GRA GW
mp000 mp100 mp150 mp190 mp200
|--UE--|------------CPE/NAT--------|------|-CGN-|------|
|--Access Network---|
|_______Un-managed sub-path________|_Managed sub-path__|
GRA = Globally Routable Address, GW = Gateway
7. Example Resource Transition
This section gives an example of Shared and Dedicated portions with
the reference path. This example shows two Resource Transition
Points.
Consider the case where:
o The CPE consists of a wired Residential GW and modem (Private
Net#2) connected to a WiFi access point (Private Net#1). The
Subscriber device (UE) attaches to the CPE though the WiFi access.
o The WiFi subnetwork (Private Net#1) shares unlicensed radio
channel resources with other WiFi access networks (and potentially
other sources of interference), thus this is a Shared portion of
the path.
o The wired subnetwork (Private Net#2) and a portion of the Service
Provider's Network are Dedicated Resources (for a single
Subscriber), thus there is a Resource Transition Point between
(Private Net#1) and (Private Net#2).
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
o Subscriber traffic shares common resources with other subscribers
upon reaching the Carrier Grade NAT (CGN), thus there is a
Resource Transition Point and further network components are
designated as Shared Resources.
We believe this is a fairly common configuration in parts of the
world.
This case would map into the defined reference measurement points as
follows:
Subsc. -- Private -- Private -- Access -- Intra IP -- GRA -- Transit ...
device Net #1 Net #2 Demarc. Access GW GRA GW
mp000 mp100 mp150 mp190 mp200
|--UE--|------------CPE/NAT--------|------|-CGN-|------|
| WiFi | 1000Base-T |--Access Network---|
|-Shared--|RT|------Dedicated------| RT |-----Shared------...
|_______Un-managed sub-path________|_Managed sub-path__|
GRA = Globally Routable Address, GW = Gateway, RT = Resource
Transition Point
8. Security considerations
Specification of a Reference Path and identification of measurement
points on the path represent agreements among interested parties, and
they present no threat to the implementors of this memo, or to the
Internet resulting from implementation of the guidelines provided
here.
Attacks at end hosts or identified measurement points are possible.
However, there is no requirement to include IP addresses of hosts or
other network devices in a reference path with measurement points
that is compliant with this memo. As a result, the path diagrams
with measurement point designation numbers do not aid such attacks.
Most network operators' diagrams of reference paths will bear a close
resemblance to similar diagrams in relevant standards or other
publicly available documents. However, when an operator must include
atypical network details in their diagram, e.g., to explain why a
longer latency measurement is expected, then the diagram reveals some
topological details and should be marked as confidential and shared
with others under a specific agreement.
When considering privacy of those involved in measurement or those
whose traffic is measured, there may be sensitive information
Bagnulo, et al. Expires April 10, 2015 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft LMAP Reference Path October 2014
communicated to recipients of the network diagrams illustrating paths
and measurement points described above. We refer the reader to the
privacy considerations described in the Large Scale Measurement of
Broadband Performance (LMAP) Framework [I-D.ietf-lmap-framework],
which covers active and passive measurement techniques and supporting
material on measurement context. For example, the value of sensitive
information can be further diluted by summarising measurement results
over many individuals or areas served by the provider. There is an
opportunity enabled by forming anonymity sets described in [RFC6973]
based on the reference path and measurement points in this memo. For
example, all measurements from the Subscriber device can be
identified as "mp000", instead of using the IP address or other
device information. The same anonymisation applies to the Internet
Service Provider, where their Internet gateway would be referred to
as "mp190".
9. IANA Considerations
This memo makes no requests for IANA consideration.
