RE: [RPRWG] RAH: Re: Minutes of Rate Ad Hoc meeting
Hans,
The
current draft of the RPR standard tries to achieve several objectives: high link
utilization, guaranteed minimum jitter for reserved HP traffic, no
packet loss on the ring, etc, and these objectives are conflicting to
each other sometimes. One customer may want to disallow any LP packet
drop on the ring even this means high jitter for the HP traffic; another may
want to guarantee minimum jitter to HP traffic (carrying TDM) at risk of
occasionally dropping some LP packets.
My suggestion is that RPR provide a choice for the
customer to make his/her decision in conflict resolution.
I
didn't assume the operator wants to adjust the total load/throughput. Maybe this can be done more
easily if the above choice is provided.
Regards,
Yiming
> Yiming Yao: allow customer to choose between loss, jitter, and
utilization
Is the underlying
assumption that the operator of the ring (=customer?) wants to
adjust the total load/throughput?
Would this be for loadbalancing purposes?
regards,
Hans
