IP RAN Performance

The document discusses various performance counters for monitoring different aspects of an IP RAN network including the RNC, RBS, Iub interface, and IP synchronization. It describes counters for monitoring throughput, packet loss, congestion, discarded messages, frame delays, and failed pings to default routers. Formulas are provided for calculating throughput metrics from the counter values.

IpSyncRef MO
IpSyncRefId,administrativeState,availabilityStatus,cachedIpAddress,nt

pServerIpAddress,operationalState,reservedBy,syncStatus,userLabel IP Synchronization Reference Administers the synchronization reference based on time stamps carried by NTP packets. This MO is configured only if the attribute ntpServerMode in all the IpAccessHostEt MOs in the node is set to DISABLED. Refer to the applicable unit description that supports NTP clients for configuration details. The attribute administrativeState must be set to LOCKED, before deleting an instance of this MO.

Delay on IP Network
Three counters on the Synchronization MO will be used to monitor IP

delay variation, specifically the performance of algorithm for IP network synchronization.


Synchronization::pmHDelayVarBest1Pct the highest network delay

variation derived from the best (lowest) 1 percent of the IPDVs calculated from NTP timestamp messages received in the RBS during each ROP Synchronization::pmHDelayVarBest10Pct the higest network delay variation derived from the best (lowest) 10 percent of IPDVs calculated from NTP timestamp messages received in the RBS during ROP Synchronization::pmHDelayVarBEst50Pct the highest network delay variation derived from the best (lowest) 50 per cent of the IPDVs

These counters only usable in RBS and not in RNC

pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter0 pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter1 pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter2 pmIfOutOctetsHi pmIfOutOctetsLo pmIfInOctetsHi pmIfInOctetsLo

pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter
ET-MFX board supervises the path to the default

router(s) of IpInterface MO and pings them to verify their status. Some pmCounters for Routing Path Supervision (RPS) that can be useful to detect when IP contact to the default router(s) is broken :
pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter0

pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter1
pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter2

pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter
IpInterface pmNoOfFailedPingsDefaultRouter0
The total number of failed pings towards the

defaultRouter0 on the active link only. The counter value survives the link switch when applicable. Condition: An ICMP Echo Request message has not been replied to. Counter is reset after measurement period: Yes Counter type: PEG Unit: Number of failed ping call attemps

ET-MFX Ethernet Throughput Counter


The number of octets transmitted and received through an

Ethernet port can be monitored through the following counters, available at both EthernetSwitchPort and InternalEthernetSwitchPort MO level: pmIfOutOctetsHi / pmIfOutOctetsLo pmIfInOctetsHi / pmIfInOctetsLo Transmitted and received octets are stored in a 64 bit high capacity counter. The two most significant bits of this 64 bit counter are not used.

Monitoring IP Traffic over Iub on IP RAN RBS


To monitor Iub traffic originating or terminating on RBS,

the counters on the internal Ethernet port for that RBS should be used. To monitor the total incoming Iub traffic for Iublink, including user plane, control plane and synch traffic, use: InternalEthernetPort::pmInOctetsHi InternalEthernetPort::pmIfInOctetsLo To monitor total outgoing Iub traffic for Iublink InternalEthernetPort::pmOutOctetsHi InternalEthernetPort::pmIfOutOctetsLo

Monitoring IP Traffic over Iub on RNC


To monitor the total Iub traffic incoming from IP network

from all RBS. EthernetSwitchPort::pmIfInOctetsHi EthernetSwitchPort::pmIfInOctetsLo To monitor the total Iub traffic outgoing toward IP network for all RBSs EthernetSwitchPort::pmIfOutOctetsHi EthernetSwitchPort::pmIfOutOctetsLo

The Formula
EsmPortIn = (((pmIfInOctetsHi * 2147483648) + pmIfInOctetsLo) * 8) / (900 * 1024 * 1024)
EsmPortOut = (((pmIfOutOctetsHi * 2147483648) + pmIfOutOctetsLo) * 8) / (900 * 1024 * 1024) TotPortTPut = EsmPortIn + EsmPortOut
