Thank you, Mauro. I would like to point out to IPPM WG that some of the proposed measurement techniques have already been implemented and had been running on the Internet in 2019 and 2020. Namely, Akamai has implemented Loss Bits (L+Q) and enabled them on a large portion of QIUC traffic served to Orange Telecom users in several countries, while Orange implemented observers that collected and analyzed the measurements. We have discussed the measurements and techniques in MAPRG during IETF-105 (and at other WGs and meetings). Here is our IETF-105 MAPRG presentation discussing the data https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/105/materials/slides-105-maprg-packet-loss-signaling-for-encrypted-protocols-01. In short, we found that unidirectional observations of QUIC traffic with L+Q bits alone to be effective for measuring both upstream and downstream packet loss and characterizing the magnitude of packet reordering. During the last meeting Ian asked whether Akamai would implement and enable these measurements techniques for QUIC on the large scale, if all the relevant drafts get standardized by IETF. The answer is that, yes, we would. We are very interested in doing what it takes to improve Internet performance for the users, and we would work hard to implement techniques that can help network operators to improve QOS on their networks. - Igor > -----Original Message----- > From: Cociglio Mauro <mauro.cociglio=40telecomitalia.it@dmarc.ietf.org> > Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 9:48 AM > To: IETF IPPM WG (ippm@ietf.org) <ippm@ietf.org>; explicit-meas@ietf.org > Cc: quic@ietf.org; tsvwg@ietf.org > Subject: [ippm] Comparing Alternate Marking and Explicit Flow > Measurements (Spin bit, ...) > > Hi. > Last Friday during the IPPM meeting, after the "Explicit Flow Measurements" > draft presentation > (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mdt-ippm- > explicit-flow-measurements-01__;!!GjvTz_vk!CC-VjNQml5au1pXfCN50J-D- > O99Zvrz686frIu4shWxPEipwQd7TTuOM3NTyNCU$ ), Greg Mirsky raised an > issue that I think is very important. > The question is about differences and similarities between the two types of > production traffic packet marking for performance measurements, proposed > in IETF and initiated in the IPPM WG: Alternate Marking and Explicit Flow > Measurements. > > The first technique known as Alternate Marking or AM/PM (Alternate > Marking Performance Monitoring) is defined, in general terms, in RFC8321 > (the point-to-point version) and RFC8889 (the multipoint version). > It is essentially a Telco measurement, born to measure packet delay and loss > between the input and output of a network, or between 2 internal points of > the network, in order to identify and localize a problem.
