Internet-Draft Y.1541 QOSM October 2008
1. Introduction
This draft describes a QoS model (QOSM) for NSIS QoS signaling layer
protocol (QoS-NSLP) application based on ITU-T Recommendation Y.1541
Network QoS Classes and related signaling requirements. [Y.1541]
currently specifies 8 classes of Network Performance objectives, and
the Y.1541-QOSM extensions include additional QSPEC parameters and
QOSM processing guidelines. The extensions are based on
standardization work in the ITU-T on QoS signaling requirements
[Y.1541] [TRQ-QoS-SIG] [E.361].
[QoS-SIG] [I-D.ietf-nsis-qos-nslp] defines message types and control
information for the QoS-NSLP generic to all QOSMs. A QOSM is a
defined mechanism for achieving QoS as a whole. The specification of
a QOSM includes a description of its QSPEC parameter information, as
well as how that information should be treated or interpreted in the
network. The QSPEC [I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec] contains a set of
parameters and values describing the requested resources. It is
opaque to the QoS-NSLP and similar in purpose to the TSpec, RSpec and
AdSpec specified in [RFC2205] [RFC2210] . The QSPEC object contains
the QoS parameters defined by the QOSM. A QOSM provides a specific
set of parameters to be carried in the QSPEC. At each QoS NSIS
element (QNE), the QSPEC contents are interpreted by the resource
management function (RMF) for purposes of policy control and traffic
control, including admission control and configuration of the
scheduler.
2. Summary of ITU-T Recommendations Y.1541 & Signaling Requirements
As stated above, [Y.1541] is a specification of standardized QoS
classes for IP networks (a summary of these classes is given below).
[TRQ-QoS-SIG] specifies the requirements for achieving end-to-end QoS
in IP networks, with Y.1541 QoS classes as a basis. [Y.1541]
recommends a flexible allocation of the end-to-end performance
objectives (e.g., delay) across networks, rather than a fixed per-
network allocation. NSIS protocols already address most of the
requirements, this document identifies additional QSPEC parameters
and processing requirements needed to support the Y.1541 QOSM.
2.1. Y.1541 Classes
[Y.1541] proposes grouping services into QoS classes defined
according to the desired QoS performance objectives. These QoS
classes support a wide range of user applications. The classes group
objectives for one-way IP packet delay, IP packet delay variation, IP
packet loss ratio, etc., where the parameters themselves are defined
in [Y.1540]. Classes 0 and 1 might be implemented using the DiffServ
Ash, et al. Expires April 30, 2009 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Y.1541 QOSM October 2008
EF PHB, and support interactive real-time applications. Classes 2,
3, and 4 might be implemented using the DiffServ AFxy PHB Group, and
support data transfer applications with various degrees of
interactivity. Class 5 generally corresponds to the DiffServ Default
PHB, has all the QoS parameters unspecified consistent with a best-
effort service. Classes 6 and 7 provide support for extremely loss-
sensitive user applications, such as high quality digital television,
TDM circuit emulation, and high capacity file transfers using TCP.
These classes are intended to serve as a basis for agreements between
end-users and service providers, and between service providers. They
support a wide range of user applications including point-to-point
telephony, data transfer, multimedia conferencing, and others. The
limited number of classes supports the requirement for feasible
implementation, particularly with respect to scale in global
networks.
The QoS classes apply to a packet flow, where [Y.1541] defines a
packet flow as the traffic associated with a given connection or
connectionless stream having the same source host, destination host,
class of service, and session identification. The characteristics of
each Y.1451 QoS class are summarized here:
Class 0: Real-time, highly interactive applications, sensitive to
jitter. Mean delay upper bound is 100 ms, delay variation is less
than 50 ms, and loss ratio is less than 10^-3. Application examples
include VoIP, Video Teleconference.
Class 1: Real-time, interactive applications, sensitive to jitter.
Mean delay upper bound is 400 ms, delay variation is less than 50 ms,
and loss ratio is less than 10^-3. Application examples include
VoIP, video teleconference.
Class 2: Highly interactive transaction data. Mean delay upper bound
is 100 ms, delay variation is unspecified, and loss ratio is less
than 10^-3. Application examples include signaling.
Class 3: Interactive transaction data. Mean delay upper bound is 400
ms, delay variation is unspecified, and loss ratio is less than
10^-3. Application examples include signaling.
Class 4: Low Loss Only applications. Mean delay upper bound is 1s,
delay variation is unspecified, and loss ratio is less than 10^-3.
Application examples include short transactions, bulk data, video
streaming
Class 5: Unspecified applications with unspecified mean delay, delay
variation, and loss ratio. Application examples include traditional
applications of Default IP Networks
Ash, et al. Expires April 30, 2009 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Y.1541 QOSM October 2008
Class 6: Mean delay <= 100 ms, delay variation <= 50 ms, loss ratio
<= 10^-5. Applications that are highly sensitive to loss, such as
television transport, high-capacity TCP transfers, and TDM circuit
emulation.
Class 7: Mean delay <= 400 ms, delay variation <= 50 ms, loss ratio
<= 10^-5. Applications that are highly sensitive to loss, such as
television transport, high-capacity TCP transfers, and TDM circuit
emulation.
These classes enable SLAs to be defined between customers and network
service providers with respect to QoS requirements. The service
provider then needs to ensure that the requirements are recognized
and receive appropriate treatment across network layers.
Work is in progress to specify methods for combining local values of
performance metrics to estimate the performance of the complete path.
See section 8 of [Y.1541], [I-D.ietf-ippm-framework-compagg], and
[I-D.ietf-ippm-spatial-composition].
2.2. Y.1541-QOSM Processing Requirements
[TRQ-QoS-SIG] provides the requirements for signaling information
regarding IP-based QoS at the interface between the user and the
network (UNI) and across interfaces between different networks (NNI).
To meet specific network performance requirements specified for the
Y.1541 QoS classes [Y.1541] , a network needs to provide specific
user plane functionality at UNI and NNI interfaces. Dynamic network
provisioning at a UNI and/or NNI node allows the ability to
dynamically request a traffic contract for an IP flow from a specific
source node to one or more destination nodes. In response to the
request, the network determines if resources are available to satisfy
the request and provision the network.
It MUST be possible to derive the following service level parameters
as part of the process of requesting service:
a. Y.1541 QoS class
b. rate (r)
c. peak rate (p)
d. bucket size (b)
e. peak bucket size (Bp)*, octets
f. maximum packet size (M)*, octets
Ash, et al. Expires April 30, 2009 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Y.1541 QOSM October 2008
g. DiffServ PHB class [RFC2475]
h. admission priority
i. restoration priority*
All parameters except Bp, M, and restoration priority have already
been specified in [I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec]. These additional parameters
are specified in Section 3.
It MUST be possible to perform the following QoS-NSLP signaling
functions to meet Y.1541-QOSM requirements:
a. accumulate delay, delay variation and loss ratio across the end-
to-end connection, which may span multiple domains
b. enable negotiation of Y.1541 QoS class across domains.
c. enable negotiation of delay, delay variation, and loss ratio
across domains.
These signaling requirements are already supported by
[I-D.ietf-nsis-qos-nslp] and the functions are illustrated in Section
4.
3. Additional QSPEC Parameters for Y.1541 QOSM
3.1. Traffic Model (TMOD) Extension Parameter
The traffic model (TMOD) extension parameter is represented by one
floating point number in single-precision IEEE floating point format
and one 32-bit unsigned integer.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: TMOD Extension
When the Bp term is represented as an IEEE floating point value, the
sign bit MUST be zero (all values MUST be non-negative). Exponents
less than 127 (i.e., 0) are prohibited. Exponents greater than 162
(i.e., positive 35) are discouraged, except for specifying a peak
rate of infinity. Infinity is represented with an exponent of all
ones (255) and a sign bit and mantissa of all zeros. The maximum
packet size (M) is an unsigned integer.
The QSPEC parameter behavior for (Bp) and (M) is similar to that
defined in [I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec], section 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. The new
parameters (and all traffic-related parameters) are specified
independently from the Y.1541 class parameter.
3.2. Restoration Priority Parameter
Restoration priority is the urgency with which a service requires
successful restoration under failure conditions. Restoration
priority is achieved by provisioning sufficient backup capacity, as
necessary, and allowing relative priority for access to available
bandwidth when there is contention for restoration bandwidth.
Restoration priority is defined as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Figure 2: Restoration Priority
Restoration Priority: 3 priority values are listed here in the order
of lowest priority to highest priority:
0 - best effort
Ash, et al. Expires April 30, 2009 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Y.1541 QOSM October 2008
1 - normal
2 - high
These priority values are described in [Y.2172], where best effort
priority is the same as Priority level 3, normal priority is Priority
level 2, and high priority is the same as Priority level 1.
Reserved: These 3 octets are reserved for future use. There are
several ways to elaborate on restoration priority, and two
possibilities are described below:
a. Time-to-Restore: Total amount of time to restore traffic streams
belonging to a given restoration class impacted by the failure. This
time period depends on the technology deployed for restoration. A
fast recovery period of < 200 ms is based on current experience with
SONET rings and a slower recovery period of 2 seconds is suggested in
order to enable a voice call to recover without being dropped.
Accordingly, candidate restoration objectives are:
Best Time-to-Restore: <= 200 ms
Normal Time-to-Restore <= 2 s
Unspecified Time-to-Restore = 0 (Unspecified)
b. Extent of Restoration: Percentage of traffic belonging to the
restoration class that can be restored. This percentage depends on
the amount of spare capacity engineered. All high priority
restoration priority traffic, for example, may be "guaranteed" at
100% by the service provider. Other classes may offer lesser chances
for successful restoration. The restoration extent for these lower
priority classes depend on SLA agreements developed between the
service provider and the customer.
The Reserved octets MAY be designated for these or other uses in the
future.
4. Y.1541-QOSM Considerations and Processing Example
In this Section we illustrate the operation of the Y.1541 QOSM, and
show how current QoS-NSLP and QSPEC functionality is used. No new
processing capabilities or parameters (except those described in
section 3) are required to enable the Y.1541 QOSM.
Ash, et al. Expires April 30, 2009 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Y.1541 QOSM October 2008
4.1. Deployment Considerations
[TRQ-QoS-SIG] emphasizes the deployment of Y.1541 QNEs at the borders
of supporting domains. There may be domain configurations where
interior QNEs are desirable, and the example below addresses this
possibility.
QNEs may be Stateful in some limited aspects, but obviously it is
preferable to deploy stateless QNEs.
4.2. Applicable QSPEC Procedures
All procedures defined in section 5.3 of [I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec] are
applicable to this QOSM.
4.3. QNE Processing Rules
[TRQ-QoS-SIG] describes the information processing in Y.1541 QNEs.
[Y.1541] section 8 defines the accumulation rules for individual
performance parameters (e.g., delay, jitter).
When a QNI specifies the Y.1541 QoS Class number, <Y.1541 QoS Class>,
it is a sufficient specification of objectives for the <Path
Latency>, <Path Jitter>, and <Path BER> parameters. As described
above in section 2, some Y.1541 Classes do not set objectives for all
the performance parameters above. For example, Classes 2, 3, and 4,
do not specify an objective for <Path Jitter> (referred to as IP
Packet Delay Variation). In the case that the QoS Class leaves a
parameter Unspecified, then that parameter need not be included in
the accumulation processing.
4.4. Processing Example
As described in the example given in [I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec] (Section
4.4) and as illustrated in Figure 3, the QoS NSIS initiator (QNI)
initiates an end-to-end, inter-domain QoS NSLP RESERVE message
containing the Initiator QSPEC. In the case of the Y.1541 QOSM, the
Initiator QSPEC specifies the <Y.1541 QOS Class>, <TMOD>, <TMOD
Extension>, <Admission Priority>, <Restoration Priority>, and perhaps
other QSPEC parameters for the flow. As described in Section 3, the
TMOD extension parameter contains the optional, Y.1541-QOSM-specific
parameters Bp and M; restoration priority is also an optional,
Y.1541-QOSM-specific parameter.
As illustrated in Figure 3, the RESERVE message may cross multiple
domains supporting different QOSMs. In this illustration, the
initiator QSPEC arrives in an QoS NSLP RESERVE message at the ingress
Ash, et al. Expires April 30, 2009 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Y.1541 QOSM October 2008
node of the local-QOSM domain. As described in
[I-D.ietf-nsis-qos-nslp] and [I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec], at the ingress
edge node of the local-QOSM domain, the end-to-end, inter-domain QoS-
NSLP message may trigger the generation of a local QSPEC, and the
initiator QSPEC encapsulated within the messages signaled through the
local domain. The local QSPEC is used for QoS processing in the
local-QOSM domain, and the Initiator QSPEC is used for QoS processing
outside the local domain. As specified in [I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec], if
any QNE cannot meet the requirements designated by the initiator
QSPEC to support an optional QSPEC parameter, with the M bit set to
zero for the parameter, for example, it cannot support the
accumulation of end-to-end delay with the <Path Latency> parameter,
the QNE sets the N flag (not supported flag) for the path latency
parameter to one.
Also, the Y.1541-QOSM requires negotiation of the <Y.1541 QoS Class>
across domains. This negotiation can be done with the use of the
existing procedures already defined in [QoS-SIG]
[I-D.ietf-nsis-qos-nslp]. For example, the QNI sets <Desired QoS>,
<Minimum QoS>, <Available QoS> objects to include <Y.1541 QoS Class>,
which specifies objectives for the <Path Latency>, <Path Jitter>,
<Path BER> parameters. In the case that the QoS Class leaves a
parameter Unspecified, then that parameter need not be included in
the accumulation processing. The QNE/domain SHOULD set the Y.1541
class and cumulative parameters, e.g., <Path Latency>, that can be
achieved in the <QoS Available> object (but not less than specified
in <Minimum QoS>). This could include, for example, setting the
<Y.1541 QoS Class> to a lower class than specified in <QoS Desired>
(but not lower than specified in <Minimum QoS>). If the <Available
QoS> fails to satisfy one or more of the <Minimum QoS> objectives,
the QNE/domain notifies the QNI and the reservation is aborted.
Otherwise, the QNR notifies the QNI of the <QoS Available> for the
reservation.
When the available <Y.1541 QoS Class> must be reduced from the
desired <Y.1541 QoS Class>, say because the delay objective has been
exceeded, then there is an incentive to respond with an available
value for delay in the <Path Latency> parameter. If the available
<Path Latency> is 150 ms (still useful for many applications) and the
desired QoS is Class 0 (with its 100 ms objective), then the response
would be that Class 0 cannot be achieved and Class 1 is available
(with its 400 ms objective). In addition, this QOSM allows the
response to include an available <Path Latency> = 150 ms, making
acceptance of the available <Y.1541 QoS Class> more likely. There
are many long paths where the propagation delay alone exceeds the
Y.1541 Class 0 objective, so this feature adds flexibility to commit
to exceed the Class 1 objective when possible.

This example illustrates Y.1541-QOSM negotiation of <Y.1541 QoS
Class> and cumulative parameter values that can be achieve end-to-
end. The example illustrates how the QNI can use the cumulative
values collected in <QoS Available> to decide if a lower <Y.1541 QoS
Class> than specified in <QoS Desired> is acceptable.

4.5. Bit-Level QSPEC Example
This is an example where the QOS Desired specification contains the
TMOD-1 parameters and TMOD extended parameters defined in this
specification, as well as the Y.1541 Class parameter. The QOS
Available specification utilizes the Latency, Jitter, and Loss
parameters to enable accumulation of these parameters for easy
comparison with the objectives desired fir the Y.1541 Class.
This example assumes that all the parameters MUST be supported by the
QNEs, so all M flags have been set to "1".

4.6. Preemption Behaviour
The default QNI behaviour of tearing down a preempted reservation is
followed in the Y.1541 QOSM. The restoration priority parameter
described above does not rely on preemption.

5. IANA Considerations
This section defines the registries and initial codepoint assignments
for the QSPEC template, in accordance with BCP 26 [RFC5226]. It also
defines the procedural requirements to be followed by IANA in
allocating new codepoints.
This document specifies the following QSPEC parameters to be assigned
within the QSPEC Parameter ID registry created in
[I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec]:
<TMOD Extension> parameter (Section 3.1, suggested ID=15)
<Restoration Priority> parameter (Section 3.2, suggested ID=16)
This specification creates the following registry with the structure
as defined below:
Restoration Priority Parameter (8 bits):
The following values are allocated by this specification:
0-2: assigned as specified in Section 3.2:
0: best-effort priority
1: normal priority
2: high priority
The allocation policies for further values are as follows:
3-63: Standards Action
64-255: Reserved
6. Security Considerations
The security considerations of [I-D.ietf-nsis-qos-nslp] and
[I-D.ietf-nsis-qspec] apply to this Document. There are no new
security considerations based on this document.
