Performance Monitoring

Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's SNCP feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its SNCP feature in any particular topological network configuration.

Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, threshold, and report performance data for early detection of problems. In this chapter, PM parameters and concepts are defined for electrical cards, Ethernet cards, and optical cards in the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH.

For information about enabling and viewing PM parameters, refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure Guide.

Chapter topics include:

•Threshold Performance Monitoring

•Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring

•Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring

•Performance Monitoring Parameter Definitions

•Performance Monitoring for Electrical Ports

•Performance Monitoring for Ethernet Cards

•Performance Monitoring for Optical Ports

Note When circuits transition from the out-of-service state to the in-service state, the performance monitoring counts during the out-of-service circuit state are not part of the accumulation cycle.

11.1  Threshold Performance Monitoring

Thresholds are used to set error levels for each PM parameter. You can program PM parameter threshold ranges from the Provisioning > Line Thresholds tab in card view. For procedures for provisioning card thresholds, such as line, path, and SDH thresholds, refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure Guide.

During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a PM parameter reaches or exceeds its corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is generated by the node and is sent to CTC. TCAs provide early detection of performance degradation. When a threshold is crossed, the node continues to count the errors during a given accumulation period. If 0 is entered as the threshold value, the PM parameter is disabled.

Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example, customers with a critical E1 installed for 911 calls must guarantee the best quality of service on the line; therefore, they lower all thresholds so that the slightest error raises a TCA.

When TCAs occur, CTC displays them in the Alarms tab. For example, in Figure 11-1, T-UASP-P is shown under the Cond column. The "T-" indicates a threshold crossing alert.

For the E1 and E3/DS-3 electrical ports on the 15310-MA SDH E1_21_E3_DS3_3 and E1_63_E3_DS3_3 cards, RX or TX is appended to the TCA description (see the red circles in Figure 11-1). RX indicates that the TCA is associated with the receive direction, and TX indicates the TCA is associated with the transmit direction.

Figure 11-1 TCAs Displayed in CTC

For electrical ports, only the receive direction is detected and appended to TCA descriptions. The E1 and E3/DS-3 ports for which RX is appended to TCA descriptions are shown in Table 11-1.

11.2  Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring

Intermediate-path performance monitoring (IPPM) allows transparent monitoring of a constituent channel of an incoming transmission signal by a node that does not terminate that channel. You can program IPPM from the Provisioning > Optical > SDH VC high-order path tab in card view. Many large ONS 15310-MA SDH networks only use line terminating equipment (LTE), not path terminating equipment (PTE).

ONS 15310-MA SDH allows monitoring of near-end PM parameter data on individual VC high-order path payloads by enabling IPPM. After enabling IPPM provisioning on the line card, service providers can monitor large amounts of synchronous transport signal (VC high-order path) traffic through intermediate nodes, thus making troubleshooting and maintenance activities more efficient.

IPPM occurs only on VC high-order path paths that have IPPM enabled, and TCAs are raised only for PM parameters on the selected IPPM paths. The monitored IPPM parameters are VC high-order path CV-P, VC ES-P, VC SES-P, VC UAS-P.

Note Far-end IPPM is not supported. However, SDH path PM parameters can be monitored by logging into the far-end node directly.

The ONS 15310-MA SDH perform IPPM by examining the overhead in the monitored path and by reading all of the near-end path PM parameters in the incoming direction of transmission. The IPPM process allows the path signal to pass bidirectionally through the node completely unaltered.

For detailed information about specific PM parameters, locate the card name in the following sections and review the appropriate definition.

11.3  Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring

Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer justification counts indicate timing errors on SDH networks. When a network is out of sync, jitter and wander occurs on the transported signal. Excessive wander can cause terminating equipment to slip. It also causes slips at the synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) and plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) boundaries.

Slips cause different effects in service. Voice service has intermittent audible clicks. Compressed voice technology has short transmission errors or dropped calls. Fax machines lose scanned lines or experience dropped calls. Digital video transmission has distorted pictures or frozen frames. Encryption service loses the encryption key, causing data to be transmitted again.

Pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in VC high-order path and VC low-order path payloads. The VC high-order path payload pointer is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the line overhead. Clocking differences are measured by the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the VC high-order path synchronous payload envelope (SPE), called the J1 byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause data loss.

You can enable positive pointer justification count (PPJC) and negative pointer justification count (NPJC) PM parameters for LTE cards. PPJC is a count of path-detected (PPJC-Pdet) or path-generated (PPJC-Pgen) positive pointer justifications. NPJC is a count of path-detected (NPJC-Pdet) or path-generated (NPJC-Pgen) negative pointer justifications, depending on the specific PM parameter.

A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes. A difference between the counts means that the node transmitting the original pointer justification has timing variations with the node detecting and transmitting this count. Positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the SPE is too slow in relation to the rate of the VC3.

For pointer justification count definitions, depending on the cards in use, see the "STM1 Port Performance Monitoring Parameters" section and the "STM4 Port Performance Monitoring Parameters" section.

In CTC, the count fields for PPJC and NPJC PM parameters appear white and blank unless they are enabled on the Provisioning > Optical > Line tab PJVC4MON# drop-down list.

11.6  Performance Monitoring for Ethernet Cards

The following sections define PM parameters and definitions for the CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Ethernet cards.

11.6.1  CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, ML-100T-8 Card Ethernet Performance Monitoring Parameters

CTC provides Ethernet performance information, including line-level parameters, port bandwidth consumption, and historical Ethernet statistics. The CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 card Ethernet performance information is divided into Ether Ports and POS Ports tabbed windows within the card view Performance tab window.

11.6.1.1  CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Card Ether Ports Statistics Window

The Ether Ports statistics window lists Ethernet parameters at the line level. The Ether Ports Statistics window provides buttons to change the statistical values shown. The Baseline button resets the displayed statistics values to zero. The Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time interval at which automatic refresh occurs. The window also has a Clear button. The Clear button sets the values on the card to zero, but does not reset the CE-100T-8, and ML-100T-8 cards.

During each automatic cycle, whether auto-refreshed or manually refreshed (using the Refresh button), statistics are added cumulatively and are not immediately adjusted to equal total received packets until testing ends. To see the final PM count totals, allow a few moments for the PM window statistics to finish testing and update fully. PM counts are also listed in the CE-100T-8 and ML-100T-8 card Performance > History window.

Table 11-6 defines the CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 card Ether Ports statistics parameters.

11.6.1.2  CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Card Ether Ports Utilization Window

The Ether Ports Utilization window shows the percentage of Tx and Rx line bandwidth used by the Ethernet ports during consecutive time segments. The Ether Ports Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization for Ethernet ports is calculated with the following formulas:

Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate

Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate

The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Ethernet cards is shown in Table 11-7.

In the CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 POS Ports window, the parameters that appear depend on the framing mode employed by the cards. The two framing modes for the packet-over-SDH (POS) port on the CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 cards are high-level data link control (HDLC) and frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F). For more information on provisioning a framing mode, refer to Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure Guide.

The POS Ports statistics window lists POS parameters at the line level.

⁴Far-end high-order VC4 and VC4-Xc path PM parameters applies only to the STM1-4 card. Also, MRC-12 and OC192/STM64-XFP based cards support far-end path PM parameters. All other optical cards do not support far-end path PM parameters.

⁵SDH path PM parameters do not increment unless IPPM is enabled. See the Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring section.
