3Definitions and Abbreviations 3.1Definitions
For the purposes of this Standard, the following definitions shall apply.
burst loss – a high density of packet loss over time, or loss of sequential packets, due to congestion, bandwidth limitation, line errors, or rerouting (delay translated into loss due to implementation) on the network.
delay – the time required for a packet to traverse the network or a segment of the network. See latency.
downstream – a transmission from a service provider toward an end user.
gateway – a network device that acts as an entrance to another network. One function is to convert media provided in one type of network to the format required in another type of network. For example, a gateway could terminate bearer channels from a switched circuit network (e.g., DS0s) and media streams from a packet network (e.g., RTP streams in an IP network).
interferer – a packet stream that contends with the test stream of interest for a limited network resource, such as a link buffer.
IP Network – a network based on the Internet Protocol.
jitter – variation in packet delay.
latency – an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. See delay.
microburst – a packet traffic pattern characterized by short periods of high activity, and where the bursts are not readily detectable when measuring average traffic rate over a period of one second or longer.
MTU Size – the largest size data-link packet or frame (specified in octets) that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network such as the Internet
packet loss – the failure of a packet to traverse the network to its destination. Typically packet loss is caused by packet discards due to buffer overflow. This model does not take into account packet loss due to discards in the terminal jitter buffer.
peak jitter – the maximum variation of delay from the mean delay.
peak-to-peak jitter – the full range of packet delay from the maximum amount to the minimum amount.
peer-to-peer – a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application.
QoS Edge Routing – routing that typically takes place between the customer premises network and the service provider network based on Quality of Service classification values.
reordered packets– A packet that arrives at the destination with a packet sequence number that is smaller than the previous packet is deemed a reordered packet.
route flap – repeated changes in a path due to updates to a routing table. The network model simulates the effect of route flaps by making incremental changes in the delay values of the core segment.
sequential packet loss – two or more consecutive lost packets.
upstream – a transmission from an end user toward a service provider.
