An Implementation of the Profile Document.

• Warren Matthews Les Cottrell, SLAC.
• Presented at the NMWG_at_GGF8, Seattle
• June 24-27, 2003

Partially funded by DOE/MICS Field Work Proposal
on Internet End-to-end Performance Monitoring
(IEPM), by the SciDAC base program.

Overview

• Implementation of Brians Schema/Profile for
  Network Performance Measurements for Grids
• Version 0.06
• As applied to
• IEPM-PingER and IEPM-BW measurement projects
• I2 E2Epi OWAMP
• RIPE-tt
• Work in progress

3
Characteristics

• path.delay.oneWay, path.delay.roundTrip
• path.loss.oneWay, path.loss.roundTrip
• path.availability.roundtrip
• path.bandwidth.achievable.TCP
• path.bandwidth.achievable.TCP.multiStream
• path.bandwidth.available
• hop.bandwidth.capacity, hop.bandwidth.utilized
• properties

4
The first stumbling block

• No schema, need to understand OGSA/OGSI
• Main focus on implementing server
• To get started short cut schema for simplicity
• Seemed reasonable that characteristics are
  separate methods
• But naming convention is NOT language neutral
• Based on GGF DAMED document
• Some languages use periods for special purposes
• Delimeters
• path.delay.oneWay -gt pathDelayOneWay
• Or
• get(path.delay.oneWaysourcedestination)
• getAll(sourcedestination)

Client
!/usr/bin/perl use SOAPLite my
characteristic SOAPLite -gt
service(http//www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/tools/s
oap/wsdl/profile_06.wsdl') -gt
pathDelayOneWay("tt81.ripe.nettt28.ripe.net) p
rint characteristic-gtNetworkTestTool-gttoolName
,"\n" print characteristic-gtNetworkPathDelaySt
atistics-gtvalue,"\n"

• Currently only latest measurement
• Adding startTimeendTime
• pathDelayOneWay("tt81.ripe.nettt28.ripe.net,
  2002122000395720021220004157)

path.delay.oneWay

• NetworkTestToolType-gttoolName ripe-tt
• Real time access to local copy of RIPE data
• Master copy archived at RIPE-NCC
• NetworkTestToolType-gttoolName owamp
• Real time access to OWAMP central database
• Owamp creates its own summaries
• Number of events in a bin (how do we return
  multiple values)

11
path.bandwidth.achievable.

• IEPM-BW uses several TCP tools
• iperf, bbcp, bbftp, gridftp
• How should this be returned?
• Input contains toolName?
• Return 3 objects with the same name
• Which should be the value of
  characteristic-gtNetworkPat
  hE2EAchievableStatistics-gtvalue

12
path.bandwidth.achievable.

• E2EAchievableTCPStatistics
• Average (value)
• peak
• Standard deviation, what about multiple streams

13
Adding path.availability.roundTrip

• Based on PingER unavailability
• NetworkPathAvailabilityStatisticsType
• MTBF uint32 O
• MTTR uint32 O
• downs uint32 O
• medianOutageLength uint32 O
• value real32 M

14
In General

• Time series
• Ability to extract individual measurements for
  previously unthought of statistics (CDF, skew,
  kurtosis, error-free seconds, conditional loss )

15
Further Work

• OGSA/OGSI gt Schemas
• Globus3

Some Issues

• Add time selection pathDelayOneWay("tt81.ripe.net
  tt28.ripe.net, 2002122000395720021220004157)
  
• Is it optional?
• Return average value, what about a list of the
  component values
• Is this a database query?
• path.bandwidth.achievable.TCPUDP.disk2disk.
• Characteristic names returned if requesting
  multiple characteristics
• getAll(sourcedestination)
• Use of asterisk?
• Accessing service with multiple tools for a
  single characteristic how to select the right
  characteristictool, if return all then how to
  know which is which
• path.bandwidth.achievable.TCP.prediction
• How to do predictions, e.g. future time or
  another level
• Type is still E2EAchievableTCPStatistics
• Integrtaed/total property especially useful
• path.hops.oneWay
• Single string, comma delimited list of hops or
  full xml document per hop or ?
• Route change boolean
• Cannot be summarized (median route)
• path.hops.roundTrip asymmetric routing
