Abstract

The system is composed of measuring devices (including transceiver, analytic unit, and com. control unit) located at two ends of route of network to be tested, and feedback device (including feedback unit and com. control unit). The transceiver and feedback unit realizes interaction of testing stream between two ends of route of network, and fills in tested data for each packet in testing procedure. Being connected to each other, com. control units at two ends control and implement interaction of test data. Test stream is a string of test packet pair. Each test packet pair is back-to-back two packets with small length. If a packet is lost, the other packet is in use for representing time delay. Thus, time delay and packet lose can be measured. Analytic unit carries out associative analysis for the said two kinds of measured data, and evaluate overall state as well as determines and distinguish different causes for packet lose and congestion fault, and shows analytic result.

Description

A kind of system and method that time delay, packet loss are carried out composite measurement and association analysis
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of system and method that time delay, packet loss are carried out composite measurement and association analysis, belong to the Measurement and analysis technical field in fixedly packet network, computer network, the mobile wireless data network.
Background technology
In the O﹠M of the Internet, varied access way of customer network (for example dialing, ADSL, Ethernet access, light access etc.) and the failure cause that varies (comprise line quality problem, client use network is improper to cause excessive cause congested etc. of congested, network traffics), make the net assessment and the fault judgement of network operation situation, no longer can depend merely on the problem that certain network measure index can solve.Therefore, how in the communication network end to end time delay and two indexs of packet loss carry out composite measurement and association analysis, realize the net assessment of COMMUNICATION NETWORK PERFORMANCES and the quick differentiation of fault, just become the focus that personnel in the industry pay close attention to.
At present, all having some prior aries now to be summarized as follows respectively aspect time delay independent of each other and the packet loss measurement for using for reference:
The measurement of two-way time delay is at one end to send the grouping of carrying time mark, after the other end receives this grouping, returns to transmitting terminal immediately, and transmitting terminal utilizes the two-way time delay value of the time of reception of this grouping and the time mark calculating end-to-end path that grouping is carried.Here, from the transmitting terminal to the receiving terminal the network link of process and the arrangement set of node (router, switch etc.), be called tested network path.One Way Delay only calculates the time delay value of single direction in the two-way approach.Because the time between two ends is not exclusively synchronous, most of measurement mechanisms use third party's instrument to carry out clock synchronization, as NTP (Network Time Protocol) NTP method, global position system GPS.NTP method implementation procedure is simple, but its worst error approaches two-way time delay, so the inaccessible practicability requirement of precision.Gps system can be so that realize the clock synchronization of us level, certainty of measurement height between each gps signal acceptance point; But, GPS equipment price costliness, and also need to dispose antenna before using, this just makes this technology not accepted use by vast the Internet and mobile data network users widely.
The measurement of packet loss is by receiving and dispatching packet sequence between end-to-end, and carries out statistical counting in the fought each other grouping of sequence number mark of receiving terminal, with the number of dropped packets in the section between determining at a time, thereby obtains the packet loss ratio.
Above-mentioned two kinds of method of measurement are to weigh the service quality of network respectively from time delay and two different angles of packet loss, and its weakness is that two kinds of measurement result data are independent separately, can't carry out related analysis-by-synthesis to network condition at that time.Yet in packet network, the reason of many network failures and mis-behave phenomenon can't accurately be judged only according to the independent measurement result of time delay or packet loss.For example the Packet Based Network packet loss may be that the link error code causes the packet error packet loss, also may be that the router buffering area overflows and causes congestion packet loss, also may be that route flapping makes that IP grouping TTL life span is 0 to cause packet loss.If can pass through one-shot measurement, investigate the time delay and the packet loss performance of certain the test stream on the network path at one time in the section simultaneously, will find many important phenomenon, as the significant data basis of network fault diagnosis.
Based on the internal association performance of time delay in the communication network and packet loss, measure multiple performance parameter simultaneously and carry out association analysis, can show the network performance situation more accurately.Therefore, how to research and develop and a kind of the Network Transmission situation is carried out the composite measurement of time delay and packet loss and the system and method for association analysis, begun to cause insider's concern.
The present invention has used for reference existing LOSS PAIR technology and has eliminated skewed clock in the one-way delay measurement and the technology of replacement, and improves on its basis and develop.Now as follows to these two kinds of technology brief introductions:
LOSS PAIR technology (is published in ACM SIGCOMM Internet Measurement Workshop at document " Using Loss Pairs to Discover Network Properties ", 2001) be used to infer the buffering configuration of network internal router, the queue management pattern of bottleneck position, path in, its basic principle is to send a string PAIR, and this PAIR is made of two groupings of (sending blanking time is 0) back-to-back.Because two groupings send back-to-back, and block length is very little, so these two are grouped in the network characteristic approximately equal that experiences in the network.
Document " A Fuzzy-based Approach to Remove Clock Skew and Reset fromOne-Way Delay Measurement " (is published in IEEE Transactions on NeuralNetworks.2005.9.Vol.16, No.5) the skewed clock in the one-way delay measurement and the removing method of replacement have been proposed:, detect and eliminate the error that relative time clock frequency difference between the measuring junction and clock resetting are introduced to one-way delay measurement based on the algorithm of fuzzy cluster analysis.The method that the present invention adopts the document to introduce when eliminating the error of the asynchronous one-way delay measurement that brings of clock of measuring two ends.

(231) after analytic unit is received transceive data and feedback data, be keyword, set up test flow data table, wherein every corresponding test packet of record with the grouping serial number PID in the test stream;
(232) calculate time delay, packet loss, the continuous number of dropped packets of testing each grouping in the flow data table:
The computational methods of time delay are: calculate the two-way time delay value RTT=Tr-Ts of grouping earlier, in the formula, Ts is the time that measurement mechanism sends this grouping, and Tr is the time that measurement mechanism receives feedback packet; Then, calculate the original One Way Delay value OWLo=Te-Ts of measurement mechanism to feedback device, in the formula, Te is the time that feedback device receives this grouping; Again OWLo is carried out clock synchronization and proofread and correct, obtain revised One Way Delay value OWL; Calculate the One Way Delay value OWLr=RTT-OWL of feedback device at last to measurement mechanism;
The packet loss computational methods are: two-way packet loss L s = 1 - C r / C s , Measurement mechanism is to the unidirectional packet loss of feedback device L e = 1 - C e / C s , Feedback device is to the unidirectional packet loss of measurement mechanism L r = 1 - C r / C e = 1 - ( 1 - L s ) / ( 1 - L e ) , In the formula, Cs is in the given test stream, the total number packets that the measurement mechanism record sends-test stream length, the feedback packet number that Cr arrives for measurement mechanism recorder, the packet count that Ce arrives for feedback device recorder;
The number of dropped packets computational methods are continuously: to given test stream, the grouping PID scope that recording measuring device sends, and receive at every turn feedback device return grouping after, all its PID and the last received PID that returns grouping are compared, wherein the maximum difference of the PID that receives for twice is continuous number of dropped packets;
(233) assessment network in general performance: whole Measuring Time is divided into n time period, calculate average bidirectional time delay and two-way packet loss in each time period respectively, be designated as set { RTTi, LOSSi}, in the formula, the span of the sequence number i of time period is: 0<i<n, n are natural number, and time period length takes the circumstances into consideration to choose;
Be that the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis make up two-dimensional coordinate system with time delay T and packet loss L respectively again, and this bidimensional coordinate plane is divided into several regions with two on each low, high threshold T1, T2 and L1, L2, according to set { RTTi, the regional location of LOSSi} in this coordinate system, with time delay, the packet loss characteristic that statistical is showed test stream, realize the overall performance assessment of network; Wherein, tested network path situation is depended in the selection of time delay T1 numerical value: be positioned at Access Network or same local area network (LAN), be 2-10ms; Being positioned at the metropolitan area network scope, then is 20~50ms; Being positioned at the wide area network scope, then is 100~500ms; When constituting transoceanic path, then be 600~1200ms; T2 elects 2~8 times T1 as; Packet loss L1 elects 1%~5% as, and L2 elects 10%~30% as;
Concentrate when satisfying time delay<T1 and packet loss<L1 regional at the same time when statistics point, illustrate that this moment, network was in well behaved light condition, be fit to carrying time delay and all higher business of packet loss requirement;
When statistics point concentrates on when satisfying T1<time delay<T2 and packet loss<L1 regional simultaneously, but the lower time delay of network packet loss rate is higher, the buffer length configuration that router in this moment of the path is described is higher, is fit to dispose but packet loss is required high very inresponsive to delay requirement business;
When statistics point concentrates on when satisfying T1<time delay<T2 and L1<packet loss<L2 regional simultaneously, illustrate that network path is congested seriously, need carry out the network path dilatation;
When measurement point drops on when satisfying time delay>T2 and packet loss>L2 regional simultaneously, promptly time delay and packet loss are all bigger, and its reason is route flapping normally; At this moment, because the route of router is inconsistent, grouping " route is looped " phenomenon occurs, most of grouping is routed device and abandons because of the life span TTL of IP protocol packet head becomes 0, even the small part grouping finally arrives the destination, time delay is also extraordinary;
Concentrate when satisfying time delay<T1 and L1<packet loss<L2 regional at the same time when statistics point, time delay is lower but packet loss is higher, can suspect it is that the buffer configuration of router on circuit error code packet loss or this network path is too small this moment; For accurately distinguishing two kinds of reasons, proceed the association analysis of follow-up packet loss reason;
(234) but situation that packet loss higher lower for time delay, analysis area divides circuit error code packet loss or congestion packet loss: all packet losses that take place during the whole measurement are designated as LOSSPACKET AD, calculate LOSSPACKET earlier ADIn the time delay of each packet loss,
If single packet loss, then to wrap another packet delay that successfully arrives of centering as its time delay value;
If continuous packet loss, the time delay value that divides into groups as this continuous packet loss with the mean value of the time delay of two forward and backward groupings of the sequence number of approaching continuous packet loss then;
Be that the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis make up two-dimensional coordinate system with time delay T and number of dropped packets respectively, and this bidimensional coordinate plane be divided into several regions, and utilize LOSSPAIR with thresholding T1 on the transverse axis and the packet loss number on the longitudinal axis ADSampling point draw the joint probability distribution figure of continuous number of dropped packets, time delay, last, judge circuit error code packet loss or congestion packet loss according to sampling point distribution probability region:
Concentrating to be distributed in when sampling point and satisfy time delay<T1 simultaneously and continuously during number of dropped packets=1 regional, illustrate that time delay is little and be single packet loss, then is that circuit error code reason causes packet loss;
Concentrate to be distributed in when sampling point and satisfy time delay<T1 simultaneously and continuously during number of dropped packets>1 regional, the little and continuous packet loss of time delay be described, it is too little then to be that router buffer length on this path disposes, and when network traffics have burst, will cause serious continuous packet loss;
Concentrate to be distributed in when sampling point and satisfy time delay>T1 simultaneously and continuously during number of dropped packets>1 regional, illustrate time delay greatly and the packet loss consecutive numbers big, then be the packet loss that line congestion causes;
(235) for the congested packet loss that causes, continue the up-downgoing congestion situation of association analysis difference user network: be that the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis make up two-dimensional coordinate system with uplink time delay and descending time delay respectively earlier, and this bidimensional coordinate plane is divided into four zones: the A district of up-downgoing free time with the time delay thresholding T on the diaxon, up free time, descending busy B district, busy C district, provisional capital up and down, the D district of up busy, descending free time;
Again the set of the up-downgoing average delay value of each Measuring Time section is designated as that { in the formula, the span of the sequence number i of time period is: 0<i<n, n are natural number for UDi, DDi};
If most of statistics point concentrates on the A district, expression up-downgoing time delay is all less, and network is comparatively idle;
If most of statistics point concentrates on the B district, represent the up free time, descending busy, then be generally the situation of general internet customer access network, reason is that most of data all will download to client from the IDC of Internet data center (Internet Data Center);
If most of statistics point concentrates on the C district, the expression up-downgoing is all busy, the delay character of then normally point-to-point application operation;
If most of statistics point concentrates on the D district, represent the up busy and descending free time, be generally and be provided with the server that service externally is provided in the customer network, externally provide content delivery service and cause upstream bandwidth congested by this server.
Described method is applicable to the fixedly performance test of packet network, radio data network and computer network, also is applicable to the network performance evaluation of the real time business that includes but not limited to VOIP, IPTV.
The present invention is a kind of system and method that time delay, packet loss are carried out composite measurement and association analysis, and relative prior art has following advantage:
(1) the present invention can once finish the two-way time delay in One Way Delay, path, packet loss and the measurement of number of dropped packets continuously of both direction simultaneously, obtain comprehensive, association analysis result simultaneously, thereby can assess the general status of the network operation based on packet loss and time delay; For the packet loss serious situation, can distinguish circuit error code packet loss, congestion packet loss or route flapping packet loss; Distinguish the various different reasons cause network congestion (route refresh, configuration of routers unreasonable etc.) again; And by the up-downgoing time-delay analysis, differentiation be P2P business such as BT cause congested, also provide congested that upload service causes, or traditional the Internet download is used the congested various faults phenomenons such as (referring to that mainly WEB, Email, FTP etc. are connected to the data transport services on basis with single TCP) that causes.Finally, help the rapid failure judgement reason of network O﹠M personnel, improve O﹠M efficient, and help network client to solve the correlation technique problem conscientiously.

It is emphasized that, need not the clock synchronization of measurement mechanism and feedback device in measuring process, how the document of the present invention in can the application background technology eliminates the asynchronous clock frequency difference of bringing of clock of measuring two ends and the method for clock resetting if being introduced in one-way delay measurement.
Referring to Fig. 4, specifically introduce the analysis operation content of the step (2) in the method for measurement of the present invention:
(21) feedback unit is collected the feedback data of test stream, and this feedback data sent to measurement mechanism: feedback unit is periodically regularly collected feedback data, promptly test stream can compress and encryption it in case of necessity at the reception information and the feedback information of feedback device; Guarantee feedback data safety is sent to measurement mechanism with reliable communication mode by communication control unit again.
(22) analytic unit is collected the various information of test stream: analytic unit is collected the test stream transceive data of measurement mechanism, it is the grouping information that its Transmit-Receive Unit is write down when sending and receive packet sequence, and, be decrypted in case of necessity and decompression by the feedback data that its communication control unit reception feedback device is sent here.
(23) analytic unit calls analysis strategy software the transceive data and the feedback data of test stream is carried out association analysis; Because the process of association analysis is an important content of the present invention, the back describes it in detail to it.
(24) analytic unit is directly presented to the user with tables of data and/or curve form with last measurement result.
Referring to Fig. 7, the association analysis that analytic unit carries out in the above-mentioned steps (23) is an important innovations of the present invention, specifically introduces its content of operation now:
(231) after analytic unit was received transceive data and feedback data, each grouping in the contrast test stream was a keyword with grouping serial number PID, set up test flow data table, wherein every corresponding test packet of record.
(232) calculate time delay, packet loss, the continuous packet loss of testing each grouping in the flow data table:
The computational methods of time delay are: calculate the two-way time delay value RTT=Tr-Ts of grouping earlier, in the formula, Ts is the time that measurement mechanism sends this grouping, and Tr is the time that measurement mechanism receives feedback packet; Then, calculate the original One Way Delay value OWLo=Te-Ts of measurement mechanism to feedback device, in the formula, Te is the time that feedback device receives this grouping; Utilize aforementioned documents that OWLo is carried out clock synchronization again and proofread and correct, obtain revised One Way Delay value OWL; Calculate the One Way Delay value OWLr=RTT-OWL of feedback device to measurement mechanism at last, revised One Way Delay or RTT carry out because association analysis of the present invention is based on;
The packet loss computational methods are: two-way packet loss L s = 1 - C r / C s , Measurement mechanism is to the unidirectional packet loss of feedback device L e = 1 - C e / C s , Feedback device is to the unidirectional packet loss of measurement mechanism L r = 1 - C r / C e = 1 - ( 1 - L s ) / ( 1 - L e ) , In the formula, Cs is in the given test stream, the total number packets that the measurement mechanism record sends (i.e. test stream length), the feedback packet number that Cr arrives for measurement mechanism recorder, the packet count that Ce arrives for feedback device recorder;
The packet loss computational methods are continuously: to given test stream, the grouping PID scope that recording measuring device sends, and receive at every turn feedback device return grouping after, all its PID and the last received PID that returns grouping are compared, wherein the maximum difference of the PID that receives for twice is continuous number of dropped packets.
(233) assessment network in general performance: whole Measuring Time is equally divided into n time period, calculate average bidirectional time delay and two-way packet loss in each time period respectively, be designated as set { RTTi, LOSSi}, in the formula, the sequence number i span of time period is: 0<i<n, n are natural number, and time period length takes the circumstances into consideration to choose;
Be that the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis make up two-dimensional coordinate system with time delay T and packet loss L respectively again, and this bidimensional coordinate plane is divided into several regions (referring to Fig. 8) with two on each low, high threshold T1, T2 and L1, L2, according to set { RTTi, the regional location of LOSSi} in this coordinate system, with time delay, the packet loss characteristic that statistical is showed test stream, realize the overall performance assessment of network; Wherein, tested network path situation is depended in the selection of time delay T1: be positioned at Access Network or same local area network (LAN), be 2-10ms; Being positioned at the metropolitan area network scope, then is 20~50ms; Being positioned at the wide area network scope, then is 100~500ms; When constituting transoceanic path, then be 600~1200ms; T2 elects 2~8 times T1 as; Packet loss L1 elects 1%~5% as, and L2 elects 10%~30% as;
When the statistics point is concentrated the A1 zone of satisfying time delay<T1 and packet loss<L1 at the same time, illustrate that this moment, network was in well behaved light condition, be fit to carrying time delay and packet loss are required all higher business, such as high quality speech.
When the statistics point concentrates on the B1 zone of satisfying T1<time delay<T2 and packet loss<L1 simultaneously, but the lower time delay of network packet loss rate is higher, the buffer length configuration that router in this moment of the path is described is higher, be fit to dispose that but packet loss is required high very inresponsive to delay requirement business, such as video traffic.
When the statistics point concentrates on the C1 zone of satisfying T1<time delay<T2 and L1<packet loss<L2 simultaneously, illustrate that network path is congested serious, need carry out the network path dilatation;
When measurement point dropped on the E1 zone of satisfying time delay>T2 and packet loss>L2 simultaneously, promptly time delay and packet loss were all bigger, and its reason is route flapping normally; At this moment, because the route of router is inconsistent, grouping " route is looped " phenomenon occurs, most of grouping is routed device and abandons because of the life span TTL of IP protocol packet head becomes 0, even the small part grouping finally arrives the destination, time delay is also extraordinary.
When statistics point was concentrated the D1 zone of satisfying time delay<T1 and L1<packet loss<L2 at the same time, the time delay of this moment was lower but packet loss is higher, can suspect it is that the buffer configuration of router on circuit error code packet loss or this network path is too small; For accurately distinguishing two kinds of reasons, proceed the association analysis of follow-up packet loss reason.
When (234) concentrating on lower but D1 that packet loss the is higher zone of time delay, investigate the reason of its packet loss: distinguish circuit error code packet loss or congestion packet loss for a large amount of statistics points that occur among Fig. 8.All packet losses that take place during the whole measurement are designated as LOSSPACKET AD, calculate LOSSPACKET earlier ADIn the time delay of each packet loss, concrete grammar is as follows:
If single packet loss, then to wrap another packet delay that successfully arrives among the LOSS PAIR as the time delay value that is dropped grouping;
If continuous a plurality of packet loss, then with the mean value of the time delay of two forward and backward groupings of the sequence number of approaching continuous packet loss time delay value as this continuous packet loss grouping; For example PID is i ..., the grouping of j is lost, then be with PID i-1 and two groupings of j+1 time delay mean value as should be continuous packet loss time delay of dividing into groups;
Time delay T and continuous number of dropped packets with approximate packet loss is that the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis make up two-dimensional coordinate system respectively, and with thresholding T1 on the transverse axis and the packet loss number on the longitudinal axis this bidimensional coordinate plane is divided into several regions, and utilizes LOSSPAIR ADSampling point draw the joint probability distribution figure (referring to Fig. 9) of continuous number of dropped packets, time delay, last, judge circuit error code packet loss or congestion packet loss according to sampling point distribution probability region:
The A2 district corresponding time delay little and be the situation of single packet loss.If the high probability packet loss indication circuit error code reason that occurs in this district causes packet loss.
When sampling point is concentrated when being distributed in that time delay A2 little and single packet loss is regional simultaneously, explanation is that circuit error code reason causes packet loss, because during offered load very little (it is low to show as time delay), still exist the packet loss phenomenon, illustrate not to be because the buffering area that network congestion forms overflows packet loss but the circuit packet loss.This situation generally appears in the higher network that causes the error code packet loss of the circuit error rate, inserts but wireless access ways such as aging circuit, PSTN dial-up access, WLAN/GPRS/CDMA such as ADSL.
When sampling point is concentrated the B2 zone that is distributed in little time delay and continuous packet loss, illustrate that the router buffer length configuration on this path is too little, when network traffics have burst, will cause serious continuous packet loss.
Concentrate to be distributed in when sampling point and satisfy the big C2 of the big and continuous number of dropped packets of time delay simultaneously when regional, explanation is the packet loss that line congestion causes.
(235) for the congested packet loss that causes, continue the up-downgoing congestion situation of association analysis difference user network: referring to Figure 10, be that the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis make up two-dimensional coordinate system with uplink time delay and descending time delay respectively earlier, and this bidimensional coordinate plane is divided into four zones: the A district of up-downgoing free time with the time delay thresholding T on the diaxon, up free time, descending busy B district, busy C district, provisional capital up and down, the D district of up busy, descending free time; Again the set of the up-downgoing average delay value of each Measuring Time section is designated as that { in the formula, the sequence number i span of time period is: 0<i<n, n are natural number for UDi, DDi};
If most of statistics A2 concentrates on the A district, expression up-downgoing time delay is all less, and network is comparatively idle;
If most of statistics point concentrates on the B district, represent the up free time, descending busy, then be generally the situation of general internet customer access network, reason is that most of data all will download to client from the IDC of Internet data center (Internet Data Center);
If most of statistics point concentrates on the C district, the expression up-downgoing is all busy, then normally point-to-point P2P uses the delay character of operation, because many P2P are applied in when downloading also for other clients provide upload service, this will cause network all to present congested situation on both direction;
D the district up busy and descending free time of expression, this mostly is the server that service externally is provided in the customer network, and these servers externally provide content delivery service will cause upstream bandwidth congested in a large number.
If most of statistics point concentrates on the D district, represent the up busy and descending free time, be generally and be provided with the server that WEB, FTP etc. externally provide service in the customer network, owing to externally providing content delivery service, these servers cause upstream bandwidth congested.
By above-mentioned association analysis, can distinguish the congested reason of customer network well, for the network O﹠M personnel provide rapid and simple congestion problems analysis means to the up-downgoing time delay.
This method can be widely used in various wireless networks (comprising cellular digital packet data switched network CDPD, GPRS GPRS, code division multiple access CDMA, 3G etc.), the fixedly performance test of packet network (comprising dialing, Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line ADSL, Ethernet access, light access etc.) and computer network also is applicable to the network performance evaluation of real time business such as networking telephone VOIP, network TV IPTV.
Referring to Figure 11, introduce the present invention carries out service quality test at IP network experimental example: use the cooperation of a pair of measurement mechanism and feedback device to finish measurement to the network path performance between user terminal and the media server.Under the deployment of diagram framework, the terminal use can be by the system and method for composite measurement of the present invention and association analysis to the query of network performance, the factor of performance bottleneck that exists in the discovery network and potential decreased performance.Again by network internal reconfigure or change route, this terminal use's reasonable quality of service requirement is met.The composite measurement that the present invention can carry out mulitpath simultaneously will have the understanding of the overall situation to the performance of whole network service, be convenient to the planning of network and redeploy and dilatation problem etc.Therefore, test is successful, has realized goal of the invention.
