Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of network performance data collecting method, relate in particular to a kind of acquisition method of service-level agreement collection network performance data that is.
Background technology
Service-level agreement (SLA, the i.e. abbreviation of Service Level Agreement) is meant paying certain expense and require operator to guarantee a specific service feature and an agreement of reliability with regard to the user of reaching between operator and the user.Traditional service-level agreement generally includes the assurance of professional availability and customer support services, as technical support center to guarantee settling time of customer problem, to the assurance of service disconnection number of times and time etc.In recent years, along with the fast development based on the service application of the Internet, increasing user has proposed the requirement that service feature guarantees to service-level agreement, as: network/service response time, throughput, packet loss etc.At present, the method for testing at network performance mainly contains two kinds: initiatively measure and passive measurement.
Initiatively measuring is to inject test pack to come the test network characteristic in network, during test, a reference node need be set in network, by node of applied in network performance test instrument test network to IP network performance with reference to the network link the end points.Initiatively the advantage of measuring be controllability to measuring process than higher, flexible, motor-driven, be easy to carry out IP network performance measurement end to end; Shortcoming is the ruuning situation that the measurement flow of injection can change network itself, makes result and the actual conditions measured have certain deviation, and the measurement flow also can increase network burden.Initiatively measurement is used very extensive in the measurement of performance parameter.The instrument of initiatively measuring has at present: IxChariot testing software of American I XIA company, the AppManager of U.S. NetIQ company
TMSuite testing software etc.Wherein IxChariot is present unique IP network and network equipment application layer test macro that becomes the industrial quarters standard.
The IxChariot test philosophy is by active quantitative test mode, produces real flow, network apparatus test or network system performance end to end under true the application.Simultaneously, IxChariot adopts distributed structure, can carry out performance test to the network of any scale or form, and its test structure is seen Fig. 1.Different with traditional physical layer test, IxChariot comes the test network and the network equipment by simulating various real network application flows, promptly adopts the application layer test.The benefit of doing like this is to verify network or the performance of the network equipment when concrete the application, because for any network or the network equipment, if its performance performance when practical application is good, we can think that the everyway of this network system is good, and this also is the characteristics place of application layer test.
The IxChariot test has following characteristics:
1, supports various protocols.
IxChariot supports TCP, UDP, IPX, SPX, RTP, APPC and Ipv6 agreements such as (TCP, UDP, RTP).
2, support multiple application.
The supported application of IxChariot comprises
1) benchmark test: as file transfer, high-performance testing throughput, database application;
2) the commercial application: as ActiveDirectory, Mail, Exchange, SQL, Oracle, SAP, Lotus etc.;
3) Internet uses: as FTP, HTTP, NNTP, POP3, SMTP, Telnet;
4) Streaming Media is used: as the authentication of IPTV, NetMeeting, Realmedia and process CISCO, Microsoft, Real;
5) application of P2P: as application such as MSN, yahoo.
3, test result.
1) IxChariot comprises at the test result of network and performance of network equipments: throughput (Throughput), response time (Response Time), transaction rate (Transaction Rate);
2) IxChariot comprises at the test result of Streaming Media: single channel postpones (One-Way Delay), packet loss (Loss Data), packet loss (Consecutive Lost Datagrams), maximum packet loss (Maximum Consecutive Lost Datagrams) continuously, shake Jitter (DelayVariation) RFC1889, shake maximum Jitter (Delay Variation) Maximum, MOS value adopt E_model pattern (ITU G.107) at VoIP continuously.
Because IxChariot can only provide manual mode and API (Application ProgrammingInterface API) to carry out network performance measurement at present, manual mode is manually to measure, measuring all operations can only be undertaken by manual mode, and measurement result also can only be kept in the file of IXIA oneself definition.For the service feature that service-level agreement is proposed guarantees, need monitor in real time user's network condition.Consider that network traffics have the short-term stability characteristics, and the real-time of measuring and the feasibility requirement of system, need be every the initial data of measuring intervals of TIME Tm (generally can be made as 10min) collection network performance.Thereby IxChariot can't be service-level agreement collection network performance data.
Though the API that application program of user can use IxChariot to provide drives IxChariot and finishes the similar function of manual mode, and can obtain the baseline results that IxChariot tests by API.But, at present also not about how using the method for IxChariot API as service-level agreement collection network performance data.
