The characteristics of this next generation network (NGN) can be summarized as quality guaranteed traffic delivery consisting of underlying communication networks provided by various technologies. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm whether the implemented communication environment is suitable for the basic capability of next-generation network (NGN) to efficiently provide various high-speed service quality. For this purpose, reasonable evaluation is essential and reliable evaluation methodology should be developed.
To this end, many methods have been performed through simulation and analytical modeling methods, but they are still insufficient.
One of them is the baseline measurement method that evaluates packet forwarding performance by setting up one IP path between the IP traffic generator and the IP traffic analysis device. It is impossible to check the characteristics of the disadvantage.
In addition, there is a method performed in France ENL (European Network Laboratory) to generate background traffic to the baseline measurement method to interfere with the test IP traffic, which stores a large number of received packets of the IP characteristics in the buffer After the transmission method, the statistical multiplexing experiences a performance degradation, but has a disadvantage in that only a single IP device can be seen.
In addition, there is a method for evaluating performance for a communication network composed of a plurality of IP routers, but this method has a disadvantage in that it is impossible to evaluate performance degradation characteristics due to IP statistical multiplexing.
On the other hand, the performance evaluation method of the IP communication network must first define the performance evaluation targets that constitute the end-to-end path, and secondly, be able to provide test traffic that can maximize the characteristics of the IP traffic.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, It can be easily carried out. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
And throughout the specification, when a part is referred to as being "connected" to another part, it includes not only "directly connected" but also "electrically connected" with another part in between. Also, when a component is referred to as " comprising "or" comprising ", it does not exclude other components unless specifically stated to the contrary .
1 is a configuration diagram of a performance evaluation system of a next generation network according to the present invention, and a performance evaluation system capable of evaluating performance on end-to-end paths for a next generation network (IP communication network) and performance degradation characteristics according to statistical multiplexing. The performance test structure at is shown.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system for evaluating performance of a next generation network according to the present invention includes a test
In this case, the
Next, the performance evaluation system of the next generation network according to the present invention will be described in more detail.
Test traffic generated by the test
And setting an interference test path for causing interference with the set IP test path (inter-end test path), so that the background traffic (interference traffic) generated by the first background
By setting and using the IP test path (end-to-end test path) and the interference test path as described above, it is possible to provide conditions similar to those of the traffic operating in the actual IP communication network environment, and to compensate for the disadvantages of the prior art. .
On the other hand, along with establishing the IP test path (inter-end test path) and the interference test path, it is very important to define the test traffic for performance evaluation. In this case, test traffic and background traffic are generated as test traffic, and the performance degradation characteristics directly experienced through the set IP test path (inter-end test path) and the interference test path, that is, the test target path and the test traffic are actual IP. Define the characteristics of test traffic and background traffic so that they interfere with the communication situation most closely.
All test traffic generated by the test
In this case, the bandwidth uses three types of bandwidths in consideration of characteristics of various services that can be provided in the next generation network (NGN). That is, three types of test traffic are used: a bandwidth of 500 kbps for low speed traffic such as voice, a 2 Mbps bandwidth for low quality video, and a 10 Mbps bandwidth for high quality video.
In addition, consideration should be given to the packet size. That is, various services in next generation network (NGN) environments are delivered by packets of various sizes according to their unique characteristics. Therefore, it uses packets of various sizes, ranging from small packets of 64 bytes, such as commands in games, to packets of 1500 bytes for large transmissions.
In addition, unlike the test traffic defined as equally spaced traffic at the IP layer, the background traffic should have similar conditions as the actual operation environment in order to ensure strict fairness and reliability of the performance evaluation result. Therefore, considering the convergence and distribution functions of traffic, we consider two directions for background traffic. That is, the UNI (User Network Interface) side aggregates traffic from various subscribers to the Network Network Interface (NNI) side, while the traffic from the NNI side should be distributed to the appropriate UNI side subscribers. Therefore, in consideration of such traffic operation situation, it is necessary to generate different traffic, and in the present invention, background traffic having such a condition is generated.
(1) UNI → NNI traffic
First, the bandwidth characteristics of the background traffic from the UNI side to the NNI side consider two kinds of bandwidths based on the allowable bandwidth provided by the UNI subscriber interface. That is, it uses 10 Mbps bandwidth considering the general low speed Ethernet interface and 100 Mbps bandwidth considering the high speed Ethernet interface. On the other hand, consideration should also be given to packet size, where various services in a next generation network (NGN) environment are delivered by packets of various sizes, depending on their unique characteristics. Therefore, it uses packets of various sizes, ranging from small packets of 64 bytes, such as commands in games, to packets of 1500 bytes for large transmissions.
(2) NNI → UNI traffic
First, the bandwidth characteristics of the background traffic from the NNI side to the UNI side consider two kinds of bandwidths based on the allowable bandwidth provided by the NNI side network interface. That is, it uses 100 Mbps bandwidth considering the general high speed Ethernet interface and 1 Gbps bandwidth considering the high speed Ethernet interface. On the other hand, considering the packet size, as with UNI → NNI traffic, considering the inherent characteristics of various services in the next generation network (NGN) environment, the packet size ranges from small sized 64 bytes packet to large size 1500 bytes sized packet. Use a packet of.
