Daryl and Hadriel,

I have some comments regarding SER and SEER:

If we go back to the analogy with PSTN and the ASR defined by ITU, I
would suggest leaving SER as it is. Thus the metric would really be
useful for estimating the %revenue compared to the total volume of
invites, regardless of the reason for failure (as it is in PSTN). For
analysis of the different aspects of the infrastructure efficiency I
suggest using complementary to SER metrics, as SEER (already defined),
and why not defining some more.

SEER: Section 3.7 defines SEER, however the formula still uses SER=...
I suggest using "SEER" in the formula in order to avoid confusion with
SER.

Best regards!
Mario.

[DM]
I agree this could create some false indications of failures.  I can
update the metric to only determine a failed condition based on a
timeout scenario.

Also, I'm going to put together a suggested list of metrics from this
draft.  The topic has come up several times on how many metrics should
be included.  Since, no one has suggested a list, I will throw one out.

[DM]
I agree and will update the draft.

> Successful SDD - you say at the end "In these two examples, TB and TS
are the same even if the UAC/UAS receives the indicated messages instead
of sending them."  I'm pretty sure the delay in receiving a Bye and
sending the 200 ok for that is not really useful. :)  Or at least a very
different issue than that measured from sending a Bye and receiving a
200.
>
[DM]
I agree.  At one point, someone requested this to be exhaustive in all
conditions.  I can remove this to indicate relevance only in the
situation of initiating the Bye from either the UAC or UAS.

> Failed SDD - what do we count the time of a Bye to a 4xx (but not
401/407) or 5xx as?  Since those are the failure conditions for the
other cases, this seems a bit odd to no longer count it as one here.
[DM]
I'm not sure I understand this question.
>
> Failed SDT - this seems to be at odds with the definition of
successful SDT.  Successful SDT is stopped on sending the Bye, but this
one is stopped on timing out that sent Bye. (in other words, every call
will thus count as a successful SDT, and some will also count as a
failed one)  Also, what good is this failed SDT info?  You already have
Failed SDD.  It seems to me an SDT can only be of type "successful", and
the timer should be stopped at send/receipt of Bye.
[DM]
I agree.  I will update this to only be between the 200 and Bye.  It
should be the Bye regardless of whether or not it times out based on the
intiator.

[DM]
The thought is the clients (or some other in-line monitoring device)
would have to capture this information at both ends and hold it in order
to correlate and make the determination.  This metric is a tricky one
and has come up much scrutiny.  It will work and could be very useful,
but will require some capture outside of SIP in all likelihood.

[DM]
Are you saying 401/407 should be included with this sentence "...to the
total number of attempted INVITE requests less INVITE requests resulting
in a 3XX response..."?
