IP SLA Video Operation Across Platforms

Video Operation: A New Type of IP SLA Probe

Cisco IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLA) is a mature Cisco technology that has found world-wide acceptance
across varied industry verticals. IP SLA is deployed to:

 Measure end-to-end application and network performance

 Monitor health of a deployed network via thresholds and alerts

 Reduce time and cost of troubleshooting network issues in real time

 Provide pre-deployment assessment thereby accelerating application deployment

IP SLA achieves these objectives by:

 Leveraging Cisco IOS to create synthetic traffic to simulate applications, referred to as application probes.
These probes are created using Cisco routers and switches.

 Actively monitoring these probes and deriving end-to-end metrics like round-trip time, packet loss, jitter
and one-way delay

 Help network administrators to identify baselines from different points in the network, and determine if
these baselines are violated

IP SLA Video Operation (VO) is a new type of IP SLA probe that generates video traffic with the intention of
stressing the network with the same traffic characteristics as a real video endpoint/application would. IP SLA VO is
a Cisco Medianet Media Monitoring technology that enables synthetic traffic generation and monitoring using Cisco
routers and switches. Together with other medianet technologies like Performance Monitor and Mediatrace, IP SLA
VO can be used for:

 Pre-deployment assessment of video applications

 Troubleshooting application performance both from an end-to-end as well as from a per-hop perspective

 Understand the effect of additional video traffic on a production network as well as competing forms of
traffic

Supported Platforms
IP SLA VO is available on platforms listed in Table 1. The table also lists hardware, license and Cisco IOS image
specifications for each platform.

IP SLA VO, similar to other IP SLA probes, has a sender (source) to generate synthetic traffic, and a responder
(destination) to absorb and analyze these packets. Since IP SLA VO generates video traffic at a higher rate than
normal IP SLA traffic, there can be special hardware requirements at the sender. Also, in the case of IP SLA VO,
the responder does not reflect back the video packets to the sender. In this regard, IP SLA VO is unidirectional.

IP SLA VO Profiles
An IP SLA VO profile describes the traffic characteristics of a particular video application; for instance, distribution
of packet sizes, burstiness, bit rate, packet rate among others. IP SLA VO profiles are available as:

 Pre-packaged

o Built-in profile available in Cisco IOS software

 Custom

o User-generated using profile generator tool (Catalyst 3K) or using CLI/MIB to configure video
traffic parameters (ISR G2)

o Provides means to simulate a user specific application

Table 2 lists various built-in IP SLA VO profiles available across platforms. As video encoding technology
advances, it is also reflected in how IP SLA VO simulates such traffic. For instance, ISR G2 series are modeled
after the latest TelePresence and IP Video Surveillance Camera (IPVSC) Codecs. Work is underway to implement
the same on Catalyst 3K and Catalyst 4K switches.

Support for Custom IP SLA VO profiles

Pre-packaged profiles cannot address all the video applications deployed in the real world. Support for custom
profiles provides a way for end-users to use IP SLA VO to generate custom application video traffic.

The following provisions have been made to support generation of custom video applications via IP SLA VO:

 For Catalyst 3K switches, a custom profile generation tool

 For ISR G2 routers, CLI/MIB available to configure traffic parameters for a custom video endpoint

 Custom Profile Incorporation in Catalyst 3K switches

The Cisco IP SLA Video Operations Profile Generator Tool, a custom profile generator tool for use with the IP SLA
VO capabilities, is available. The custom profile generated with this tool can be used with Catalyst 3K switches.
This tool is supported on Windows XP/Vista/7 (32/64 bit) operating systems.

The tool and installation instructions can be downloaded from the “Design” tab on the Cisco Medianet Knowledge
Base Portal at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/medianet/knowledgebase/index.html

Figure 1. Custom Profile Generator

The steps to generate an IP SLA VO profile file for Catalyst 3K switches are:

Step 1. Install the profile generator tool. Currently, the tool is supported only on Windows platforms.

Step 2. The input to the tool is a packet capture file (.pcap). The packet capture needs to have at least 30
seconds worth of traffic for the tool to analyze and generate a traffic profile.

Step 3. Upload the generated profile file to the flash of the switch.

 Custom Profile Incorporation in ISR G2

On the ISR G2 platform, generation of custom IP SLA VO traffic involves configuring profile parameters using the
CLI or using SNMP MIBs. A custom profile can be created, modified, and removed by either CLI or MIB. Each
custom profile has a few mandatory parameters to configure, and depending on the configured endpoint type, it
may have optional parameters to configure but with default values if not configured.

To configure the mandatory parameters for a custom profile, it requires a basic understanding of the target video
traffic characteristics, such as the endpoint type, maximum bit rate and video frame rate. Advanced users with
deeper understanding of video encoding technologies may choose to configure the optional parameters for a
custom profile with higher accuracy in synthetic traffic generation. Some mandatory parameters and all optional
parameters have default values if not configured by the user.

Table 5. Mandatory and Optional Parameters for Custom Profile Generation in ISR G2 Platform

Mandatory Parameters Endpoint type (CTS, CP-9900 or custom)

Maximum bit rate (up to 4 Mbps)
Frame rate (up to 30 fps)
Resolution (up to 1080p)
Codec (e.g. H.264 Baseline)
Video contents

Optional Parameters Rate-control averaging window size

I-frame max size
I-frame refresh interval
RTP average size per packet
Encoder jitter buffer control

The process of invoking the configured profile in a IP SLA VO session is similar to the Catalyst 3K platform listed in
Configlet 1.

IP SLA VO Interoperability Across Platforms

IP SLA VO sender and responder running on different platforms are completely interoperable. For instance,
Catalyst 3K switch running image 12.2(58)SE2 can send and receive IP SLA VO traffic from Catalyst 4K running
15.1(1)G and ISR G2 series running 15.2(2)T. The complete interoperability matrix is in Table 8.

IP SLA VO Interoperability Across Platforms

IP SLA VO probe generation is handled by the PVDM3 DSP on the ISR G2 platform and by FPGA in the Catalyst
4K platform. This scales VO probe generation to very high values as shown in Table 9. On the Catalyst 3K, packet
generation is CPU based. To generate video packets at a higher rate, optimizations are performed to directly write
packets to the hardware queues thereby avoiding process scheduling and packet queuing inefficiencies. In the
case of Catalyst 4K and ISR G2, this direct writing of packets is not required as the packets are generated via
dedicated hardware.

In all current implementations of the IP SLA VO responder, the received packets are process switched and handled
by the CPU. The CPU utilization on the responder side is the determining factor for IP SLA VO deployment, as the
scale values supported on the responder side are lower than on the sender side.

 There are some scaling issues with respect to interoperability between the three platforms which are listed in
Appendix A. The scaling numbers above have to be adhered to both from the sender’s and responder’s
perspective to avoid the issues in Appendix A.

Configuration Differences Across Platforms

Basic IP SLA VO configuration involves:

On the Sender

Step 1. Create an IP SLA entry.

Step 2. Choose the video probe, specify the 4-tuple and the profile type.

Step 3. Schedule the IP SLA entry.

On the Responder

Step 1. Activate the IP SLA responder.

#Schedule IP SLA entry

ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now

By default, the IP SLA VO probe has a duration of 20 seconds and a frequency of 15 minutes. This means that the
synthetic traffic is generated for 20 seconds every 15 minutes. This can be adjusted based on the user
requirements using the “duration” and “frequency” command.

The basic configuration remains the same for all platforms. However there are some differences between the two
switch platforms and ISR G2:

1. On the ISR G2 platform, the PVDM3 DSP is used for packet generation. DSP resources have to be allocated
for video (such as IP SLA VO) using the following commands:

Figure 5. Configlet 5: Reserve DSP for Video in ISR G2 platform

voice-card 0
voice-service dsp-reservation <percentage>
#The above is for voice while the remaining DSP resources will be used for Video

2. For individual IP SLA VO probes, DSP resources can be reserved either dynamically or statically. If statically
configured, DSP resources are assured for the entire duration of the probe spanning multiple repetitions. If
reserved dynamically, the DSP resources are reserved for each repetition at best effort. Thus, it is better to
statically allocate a DSP as shown below.

3. ISR G2 supports emulation of endpoints when the IP SLA VO stream is generated. So the packets in the
synthetic stream have the emulated address and port as the source IP address and the source port number.
The emulated input interface is to specify the ISR G2 network interface from which this synthetic video traffic
comes in by simulation. This setting can be critical if the ISR G2 as the edge router has some policy
configurations for traffic engineering and/or the WAN interface uses IPsec or tunnels. The emulated input
interface are typically configured to be the LAN interface that would connect the emulated video endpoint.

 Accuracy of IP SLA VO traffic

To determine the similarity of generated traffic to actual traffic, a comparison is made using mathematical and
empirical methods. Mathematical functions like autocorrelation function (ACF)[13] of the packet size and packet
interval along with generated bandwidth is used as a yard-stick to determine how close the synthetic traffic is to the
real traffic.

This analysis is reported in Figure 2-4 for ISR G2 platform. The two curves in the graph are (1) Actual traffic from
the video endpoint (2) Synthetic traffic generated by the platform. The endpoint is a Cisco CTS system generating
traffic at 1080P resolution.

In conclusion, there are minor differences, however the synthetic traffic representation is fairly accurate in stressing
the network in a similar way to the real video application.

 Performance Monitor and Mediatrace with IP SLA VO

Synthetic traffic generated by IP SLA VO is very similar to real traffic. During pre-deployment assessment using IP
SLA VO, problems can be isolated by using IP SLA VO with other Medianet technologies.

The Media Monitoring suite consists of three components.

 Performance Monitor

o Provides per-flow, per-hop visibility into flow metrics such as packet loss and network jitter for
audio and video streams, and packet loss events and round-trip times (RTT) for data streams.
 Mediatrace

o Hop-by-hop correlated analysis of rich-media flows across a network.

 IP SLA VO

o Generates synthetic media streams through Cisco routers and switches.

Performance Monitor and Mediatrace can be invoked on IP SLA VO synthetic steams. There are two avenues to
collect metrics on IP SLA VO streams:

o Inspect IP SLA VO streams on a hop-by-hop basis using Performance Monitor and Mediatrace.

o Use IP SLA VO over the top metrics that are collected from IP SLA from an end-to-end perspective as
shown in Configlet 8.

An example of Mediatrace running on a IP SLA VO stream can be demonstrated using Cisco Prime Collaboration
Manager (CPCM) 1.1. Figure 15 illustrates a IP SLA VO session between two Cisco Catalyst 3K switch modules.

Figure 15. Starting an IP SLA VO Session Using CPCM 1.1

Mediatrace has been invoked and per-hop statistics for the intermediate nodes are collected. In Figure 16,
Mediatrace reports that there are no packet losses on any of the intermediate hops. The network administrator has
a good idea as to the impact of installing TelePresence endpoints behind the two access switches.
