Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 1. Introduction This memo describes the guidelines to help with evaluating new congestion control algorithms for interactive point-to-point real time media. The requirements for the congestion control algorithm are outlined in [I-D.ietf-rmcat-cc-requirements]). This document builds upon previous work at the IETF: Specifying New Congestion Control Algorithms [RFC5033] and Metrics for the Evaluation of Congestion Control Algorithms [RFC5166]. The guidelines proposed in the document are intended to help prevent a congestion collapse, promote fair capacity usage and optimize the media flow's throughput. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are expected to operate within the envelope of the circuit breakers defined in [I-D.ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers]. This document only provides broad-level criteria for evaluating a new congestion control algorithm. The minimal requirement for RMCAT proposals is to produce or present results for the test scenarios described in [I-D.ietf-rmcat-eval-test] (Basic Test Cases). Additionally, proponents may produce evaluation results for the wireless test scenarios [I-D.ietf-rmcat-wireless-tests]. 2. Terminology The terminology defined in RTP [RFC3550], RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control [RFC3551], RTCP Extended Report (XR) [RFC3611], Extended RTP Profile for RTCP-based Feedback (RTP/AVPF) [RFC4585] and Support for Reduced-Size RTCP [RFC5506] apply. 3. Metrics Each experiment is expected to log every incoming and outgoing packet (the RTP logging format is described in Section 3.1). The logging can be done inside the application or at the endpoints using PCAP (packet capture, e.g., tcpdump, wireshark). The following are calculated based on the information in the packet logs: 1. Sending rate, Receiver rate, Goodput (measured at 200ms intervals) 2. Packets sent, Packets received 3. Bytes sent, bytes received 4. Packet delay Singh, et al. Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 5. Packets lost, Packets discarded (from the playout or de-jitter buffer) 6. If using, retransmission or FEC: post-repair loss 7. Fairness or Unfairness: Experiments testing the performance of an RMCAT proposal against any cross-traffic must define its expected criteria for fairness. The "unfairness" test guideline (measured at 1s intervals) is: 1. Does not trigger the circuit breaker. 2. No RMCAT stream achieves more than 3 times the average throughput of the RMCAT stream with the lowest average throughput, for a case when the competing streams have similar RTTs. 3. RTT should not grow by a factor of 3 for the existing flows when a new flow is added. For example, see the test scenarios described in [I-D.ietf-rmcat-eval-test]. 8. Convergence time: The time taken to reach a stable rate at startup, after the available link capacity changes, or when new flows get added to the bottleneck link. 9. Instability or oscillation in the sending rate: The frequency or number of instances when the sending rate oscillates between an high watermark level and a low watermark level, or vice-versa in a defined time window. For example, the watermarks can be set at 4x interval: 500 Kbps, 2 Mbps, and a time window of 500ms. 10. Bandwidth Utilization, defined as ratio of the instantaneous sending rate to the instantaneous bottleneck capacity. This metric is useful only when an RMCAT flow is by itself or competing with similar cross-traffic. From the logs the statistical measures (min, max, mean, standard deviation and variance) for the whole duration or any specific part of the session can be calculated. Also the metrics (sending rate, receiver rate, goodput, latency) can be visualized in graphs as variation over time, the measurements in the plot are at 1 second intervals. Additionally, from the logs it is possible to plot the histogram or CDF of packet delay. [Open issue (1): Using Jain-fairness index (JFI) for measuring self- fairness between RTP flows? measured at what intervals? visualized as a CDF or a timeseries? Additionally: Use JFI for comparing fairness between RTP and long TCP flows? ] Singh, et al. Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 3.1. RTP Log Format The log file is tab or comma separated containing the following details: Send or receive timestamp (unix) RTP payload type SSRC RTP sequence no RTP timestamp marker bit payload size If the congestion control implements, retransmissions or FEC, the evaluation should report both packet loss (before applying error- resilience) and residual packet loss (after applying error- resilience). 4. List of Network Parameters The implementors initially are encouraged to choose evaluation settings from the following values: 4.1. One-way Propagation Delay Experiments are expected to verify that the congestion control is able to work in challenging situations, for example over trans- continental and/or satellite links. Typical values are: 1. Very low latency: 0-1ms 2. Low latency: 50ms 3. High latency: 150ms 4. Extreme latency: 300ms 4.2. End-to-end Loss To model lossy links, the experiments can choose one of the following loss rates, the fractional loss is the ratio of packets lost and packets sent. 1. no loss: 0% 2. 1% 3. 5% Singh, et al. Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 4. 10% 5. 20% 4.3. DropTail Router Queue Length The router queue length is measured as the time taken to drain the FIFO queue. It has been noted in various discussions that the queue length in the current deployed Internet varies significantly. While the core backbone network has very short queue length, the home gateways usually have larger queue length. Those various queue lengths can be categorized in the following way: 1. QoS-aware (or short): 70ms 2. Nominal: 300-500ms 3. Buffer-bloated: 1000-2000ms Here the size of the queue is measured in bytes or packets and to convert the queue length measured in seconds to queue length in bytes: QueueSize (in bytes) = QueueSize (in sec) x Throughput (in bps)/8 4.4. Loss generation model [Open Issue: Describes the model for generating packet losses, for example, losses can be generated using traces, or using the Gilbert- Elliot model, or randomly (uncorrelated loss).] 4.5. Jitter models This section defines jitter model for the purposes of this document. When jitter is to be applied to both the RMCAT flow and any competing flow (such as a TCP competing flow), the competing flow will use the jitter definition below that does not allow for re-ordering of packets on the competing flow (see NR-RBPDV definition below). Jitter is an overloaded term in communications. Its meaning is typically associated with the variation of a metric (e.g., delay) with respect to some reference metric (e.g., average delay or minimum delay). For example, RFC 3550 jitter is a smoothed estimate of jitter which is particularly meaningful if the underlying packet delay variation was caused by a Gaussian random process. Because jitter is an overloaded term, we instead use the term Packet Delay Variation (PDV) to describe the variation of delay of Singh, et al. Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 individual packets in the same sense as the IETF IPPM WG has defined PDV in their documents (e.g., RFC 3393) and as the ITU-T SG16 has defined IP Packet Delay Variation (IPDV) in their documents (e.g., Y.1540). Most PDV distributions in packet network systems are one-sided distributions (the measurement of which with a finite number of measurement samples result in one-sided histograms). In the usual packet network transport case there is typically one packet that transited the network with the minimum delay, then a majority of packets also transit the system within some variation from this minimum delay, and then a minority of the packets transits the network with delays higher than the median or average transit time (these are outliers). Although infrequent, outliers can cause significant deleterious operation in adaptive systems and should be considered in RMCAT adaptation designs. In this section we define two different bounded PDV characteristics, 1) Random Bounded PDV and 2) Approximately Random Subject to No- Reordering Bounded PDV. [Open issue: which one is used in evaluations? Are both used?] 4.5.1. Random Bounded PDV (RBPDV) The RBPDV probability distribution function (pdf) is specified to be of some mathematically describable function which includes some practical minimum and maximum discrete values suitable for testing. For example, the minimum value, x_min, might be specified as the minimum transit time packet and the maximum value, x_max, might be idefined to be two standard deviations higher than the mean. Since we are typically interested in the distribution relative to the mean delay packet, we define the zero mean PVD sample, z(n), to be z(n) = x(n) - x_mean, where x(n) is a sample of the RBPDV random variable x and x_mean is the mean of x. We assume here that s(n) is the original source time of packet n and the post-jitter induced emmission time, j(n), for packet n is j(n) = {[z(n) + x_mean] + s(n)}. It follows that the separation in the post- jitter time of packets n and n+1 is {[s(n+1)-s(n)] - [z(n)-z(n+1)]}. Since the first term is always a positive quantity, we note that packet reordering at the receiver is possible whenever the second term is greater than the first. Said another way, whenever the difference in possible zero mean PDV sample delays (i.e., [x_max- x_min]) exceeds the inter-departure time of any two sent packets, we have the possibility of packet re-ordering. Singh, et al. Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 There are important use cases in real networks where packets can become re-ordered such as in load balancing topologies and during route changes. However, for the vast majority of cases there is no packet re-ordering because most of the time packets follow the same path. Due to this, if a packet becomes overly delayed, the packets after it on that flow are also delayed. This is especially true for mobile wireless links where there are per-flow queues prior to base station scheduling. Owing to this important use case, we define another PDV profile similar to the above, but one that does not allow for re-ordering within a flow. 4.5.2. Approximately Random Subject to No-Reordering Bounded PDV (NR- RPVD) No Reordering RPDV, NR-RPVD, is defined similarly to the above with one important exception. Let serial(n) be defined as the serialization delay of packet n at the lowest bottleneck link rate (or other appropriate rate) in a given test. Then we produce all the post-jitter values for j(n) for n = 1, 2, ... N, where N is the length of the source sequence s to be offset-ed. The exception can be stated as follows: We revisit all j(n) beginning from index n=2, and if j(n) is determined to be less than [j(n-1)+serial(n-1)], we redefine j(n) to be equal to [j(n-1)+serial(n-1)] and continue for all remaining n (i.e., n = 3, 4, .. N). This models the case where the packet n is sent immediately after packet (n-1) at the bottleneck link rate. Although this is generally the theoretical minimum in that it assumes that no other packets from other flows are in-between packet n and n+1 at the bottleneck link, it is a reasonable assumption for per flow queuing. We note that this assumption holds for some important exception cases, such as packets immediately following outliers. There are a multitude of software controlled elements common on end-to-end Internet paths (such as firewalls, ALGs and other middleboxes) which stop processing packets while servicing other functions (e.g., garbage collection). Often these devices do not drop packets, but rather queue them for later processing and cause many of the outliers. Thus NR-RPVD models this particular use case (assuming serial(n+1) is defined appropriately for the device causing the outlier) and thus is believed to be important for adaptation development for RMCAT. [Editor's Note: It may require to define test distributions as well. Example test distribution may include- 1 - Two-sided: Uniform PDV Distribution. Two quantities to define: x_min and x_max. Singh, et al. Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 2 - Two-sided: Truncated Gaussian PDV Distribution. Four quantities to define: the appropriate x_min and x_max for test (e.g., +/- two sigma values), the standard deviation, and the mean. 3 - One Sided: Truncated Gaussian PDV Distribution. Quantities to define: three sigma value, the standard deviation, and the mean] 5. WiFi or Cellular Links [I-D.ietf-rmcat-wireless-tests] describes the test cases to simulate networks with wireless links. The document describes mechanism to simulate both cellular and WiFi networks. 6. Traffic Models 6.1. TCP taffic model Long-lived TCP flows will download data throughout the session and are expected to have infinite amount of data to send or receive. For example, to Each short TCP flow is modeled as a sequence of file downloads interleaved with idle periods. Not all short TCPs start at the same time, i.e., some start in the ON state while others start in the OFF state. The short TCP flows can be modelled as follows: 30 connections start simultaneously fetching small (30-50 KB) amounts of data. This covers the case where the short TCP flows are not fetching a video file. The idle period between bursts of starting a group of TCP flows is typically derived from an exponential distribution with the mean value of 10 seconds. [These values were picked based on the data available at http://httparchive.org/interesting.php as of October 2015]. 6.2. RTP Video model [I-D.ietf-rmcat-video-traffic-model] describes two types of video traffic models for evaluating RMCAT candidate algorithms. The first model statistically characterizes the behavior of a video encoder. Whereas the second model uses video traces. For example, test sequences are available at: [xiph-seq] and [HEVC-seq]. Singh, et al. Expires September 22, 2016 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Evaluating Congestion Control for RMCAT March 2016 [Open issue: Which sequences are used? All? Some subset?] 6.3. Background UDP [Open issue: Background UDP flow is modeled as a constant bit rate (CBR) flow. It will download data at a particular CBR rate for the complete session, or will change to particular CBR rate at predefined intervals. They parameters are still TBD. e.g., packet size, packet spacing interval, etc.] 7. Security Considerations Security issues have not been discussed in this memo. 8.
