Network performance measuring method and system

Abstract

The method includes following steps: configuring measurement task, creating measurement task in task reporting mode (TRM) based on measurement in full index reporting mode (FIRM); according to measurement period T1, data acquisition point samples measured data of network performance index in TRM, otherwise, samples data according to measurement period T2; measured data are reported to master control board of net element; based on measured data of measurement task in TRM, the master control board of net element generates measured data corresponding to the measurement task; the master control board collects measured data in TRM and measured data of measurement task in FIRM so as to generate measured result of measurement task corresponding to FIRM. Advantages are: integrated data for measuring network performance, measuring object self-adaptive to change of configuration, and obtainable data of measured performance of network device in short time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to a method and system for measuring network performance. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of new network technologies and services, on the one hand, network users are becoming more and more mature, and they hope to get better services and faster Internet speed; on the other hand, network providers should also try their best To provide users with the best service to survive in the fierce competition environment. Therefore, network performance has become the focus of attention, and both network providers and network users need to understand the performance of the network they provide or are using. [0003] Network performance measurement is based on understanding the network operation status, collects data, makes statistics on the performance indicators of related objects in the network through measurement methods, and generates measurement results.

Problems solved by technology

[0009] 1. The performance task management system is complex and has poor maintainability: performance tasks need to support operations such as creation, deletion, modification, suspension, and recovery. At the same time, precise control of each data collection point is required, and more abnormal situations must be considered. Therefore, the management system is complex and increases the difficulty of maintenance, making the task reporting method increasingly uncompetitive;

[0010] 2. It is difficult to deal with the change of the measured object: Generally speaking, the measured object is selected when the performance task is created. Therefore, when the measured object changes due to reasons such as capacity expansion, it is difficult to implement the task reporting method" "Plug and measure", but requires manual intervention by network administrators to deal with the measurement of network performance when the measured object changes by modifying or recreating performance tasks;

[0011] 3. Incomplete network performance data: Since the network performance analysis results correspond to the created performance tasks, if no performance tasks are created, the related network performance measurement results cannot be obtained; moreover, the number of performance tasks that can be created by the network system is limited. is limited, therefore, the network performance measurement method of the task reporting method has the defect of incomplete network performance data measurement

[0020] 1. Since this method measures all performance indicators and all measurement objects in the network, it is necessary to collect data at all data collection points, which makes the system overload;

[0021] 2. Due to the increase in the reported measurement results, relatively high requirements are put forward for the network management center to process the measurement results, and the processing tasks of the network management center are also increased;

[0022] 3. Considering that most of the indicators in the measurement indicators are indicators of traffic types (the so-called indicators of traffic types refer to network performance indicators that only collect data at the beginning and end of the period), therefore, extending the measurement period can be Effectively reduce the system load; however, the prolongation of the measurement period is equivalent to the expansion of the sampling period, and a longer sampling period is difficult to reflect short-term changes in equipment conditions, especially in the network equipment debugging stage, when it is necessary to understand the network equipment When the short-term characteristics of the state, the full index reporting method cannot meet this demand

[0023] 4. In addition, because some measurement indicators represent the instantaneous characteristics of network equipment, in the full-index reporting method with a long measurement cycle, the measurement results cannot reflect the real state of the network equipment, so the measurement results of the full-index reporting method will lose significance
