New QUIC Packet Loss Measurement (draft-cfb-ippm-spinbit-measurements)

[Cociglio Mauro <[e-mail]>]

Dear QUIC WG Members.

We submitted to IPPM WG a draft where we described a new 2 bit packet loss methodology (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cfb-ippm-spinbit-measurements-01).
The measurement of packet loss is under discussion in QUIC WG and our draft introduces two alternatives about it.
The first one is a spin-bit dependent signal and uses a single bit. The second one, described in the following linked slides, is a standalone solution based on a two bits loss signal and on alternate marking (RFC8321).
This last methodology improves, in our opinion, the algorithm proposed by Orange and Akamai described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ferrieuxhamchaoui-quic-lossbits-03.

The 2 bits are the sQuare bit (Q-bit) and the Reflection square bit (R-bit).
The Q-bit doesn't change from the Ferrieux-Hamchaoui draft but the R-bit substitutes the L-bit.
This avoids the L-bit dependence from an internal protocol variable, a problem raised in the last QUIC interim meeting.

You can find the slides, we prepared for the IPPM interim meeting, at the following link: https://github.com/ietf-ippm/meeting-materials/blob/aa486f7ead28b9f55c5ef499e5c9ed33ab06daf9/ietf107-virtual/Slides/07-spinbit-measurements.pdf

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Of course we are available to present our proposals in the next QUIC WG meeting or to arrange a Webex side meeting if needed.

Best regards.

Mauro, Fabio, Giuseppe, Massimo and Riccardo
