Liebe MMB Mitglieder,

unsere im März in Essen stattgefundene Fachtagung MMB & DFT 2010 war wieder
einmal ein echtes Highlight - ich glaube, dies im Namen aller Teilnehmer sagen
zu dürfen. Herzlichen Dank nochmals an die Organisatoren Bruno
Müller-Clostermann, Klaus Echtle und Erwin Rathgeb! Lesen Sie dazu den
ausführlichen Tagungsbericht in diesem Newsletter.

Das MMB-Leitungsgremium hat in seiner Sitzung in Essen beschlossen, dass die mit
der diesjährigen Tagung begonnene erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit dem
Fachausschuss "Verlässlichkeit und Fehlertoleranz" (das "DFT" im Tagungskürzel!)
fortgesetzt werden soll. Zeitpunkt und Ort für die nächste Fachtagung stehen
auch schon fest: Sie wird in zwei Jahren, also im Frühjahr 2012, unter der
Federführung von Jens Schmitt an der TU Kaiserslautern stattfinden - die
Vorbereitungen dazu laufen bereits!

In diesem Jahr wäre Konrad Zuse, der Erfinder des ersten programmgesteuerten,
binären Rechners 100 Jahre alt geworden. Aus diesem Anlass findet eine Vielzahl
von Veranstaltungen statt, schauen Sie doch einfach mal in die Übersicht unter
www.zuse-jahr-2010.de

TOBIAS HOßFELD: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF FUTURE INTERNET APPLICATIONS AND
EMERGING USER BEHAVIOR (MMB DISSERTATIONSPREIS 2010)

In future telecommunication systems, we observe an increasing diversity of
access networks. The separation of transport services and applications or
services leads to multi-network services, i.e., a future service has to work
transparently to the underlying network infrastructure. Multi-network services
with edge-based intelligence, like P2P file sharing or the Skype VoIP service,
impose new traffic control paradigms on the future Internet. Such services adapt
the amount of consumed bandwidth to reach different goals. A selfish behavior
tries to keep the QoE of a single user above a certain level. Skype, for
instance, repeats voice samples depending on the perceived end-to-end loss. From
the viewpoint of a single user, the replication of voice data overcomes the
degradation caused by packet loss and enables to maintain a certain QoE. The
cost for this achievement is a higher amount of consumed bandwidth. However, if
the packet loss is caused by congestion in the network, this additionally
required bandwidth even worsens the network situation. Altruistic behavior, on
the other side, would reduce the bandwidth consumption in such a way that the
pressure on the network is released and thus the overall network performance is
improved.

In this monograph, we analyzed the impact of the overlay, P2P, and QoE paradigms
in future Internet applications and the interactions from the observing user
behavior. The shift of intelligence toward the edge is accompanied by a change
in the emerging user behavior and traffic profile, as well as a change from
multi-service networks to multi-networks services. In addition, edge-based
intelligence may lead to a higher dynamics in the network topology, since the
applications are often controlled by an overlay network, which can rapidly
change in size and structure as new nodes can leave or join the overlay network
in an entirely distributed manner. As a result, we found that the performance
evaluation of such services provides new challenges, since novel key performance
factors have to be first identified, like pollution of P2P systems, and
appropriate models of the emerging user behavior are required, e.g. taking into
account user impatience. As common denominator of the presented studies in this
work, we focus on a user-centric view when evaluating the performance of future
Internet applications. For a subscriber of a certain application or service, the
perceived quality expressed as QoE will be the major criterion of the user's
satisfaction with the network and service providers. We selected three different
case studies and characterized the application's performance from the end user's
point of view. Those are (1) cooperation in mobile P2P file sharing networks,
(2) modeling of online TV recording services, and (3) QoE of edge-based VoIP
applications. The user-centric approach facilitates the development of new
mechanisms to overcome problems arising from the changing user behavior. An
example is the proposed CycPriM cooperation strategy, which copes with selfish
user behavior in mobile P2P file sharing system. An adequate mechanism has also
been shown to be efficient in a heterogeneous B3G network with mobile users
conducting vertical handovers between different wireless access technologies.

The consideration of the user behavior and the user perceived quality guides to
an appropriate modeling of future Internet applications. In the case of the
online TV recording service, this enables the comparison between different
technical realizations of the system, e.g. using server clusters or P2P
technology, to properly dimension the installed network elements and to assess
the costs for service providers. Technologies like P2P help to overcome
phenomena like flash crowds and improve scalability compared to server clusters,
which may get overloaded in such situations. Nevertheless, P2P technology
invokes additional challenges and different user behavior to that seen in
traditional client/server systems. Beside the willingness to share files and the
churn of users, peers may be malicious and offer fake contents to disturb the
data dissemination.

Finally, the understanding and the quantification of QoE with respect to QoS
degradations permits designing sophisticated edge-based applications. To this
end, we identified and formulated the IQX hypothesis as an exponential
interdependency between QoE and QoS parameters, which we validated for different
examples. As an application of the IQX hypothesis, the general benefit of the
replication of voice datagrams was analytically investigated. The cost of this
replication, besides the increased bandwidth consumption, is an increased
jitter, which also impacts the QoE. As a result, a maximal degree of replication
can be derived up to which an increase of the QoE can be achieved. 

The appropriate modeling of the emerging user behavior taking into account the
user's perceived quality and its interactions with the overlay and P2P paradigm
will finally help to design future Internet applications.

JENNIFER MYLOSZ: NICHT-ERGODISCHE JACKSON-NETZE MIT UNZUVERLÄSSIGEN KNOTEN 
(MMB DIPLOMARBEITSPREIS 2010) 

This diploma thesis contributes to a better understanding of the behavior of
networks that cannot approach a classical equilibrium state. The investigation
of the thesis is motivated by the following observation: In large and complex
networks, instable subnetworks often occur due to local overload or due to
non-availability of nodes or links. The global network then is not stable in any
classical sense, but there co-exist regions with other regions where subnetworks
stabilize locally. To analyze such networks, Jackson networks with unreliable
nodes which randomly break down and are under repair for a random time are
considered. The network is described by a Markov process which encompasses the
availability status and queue lengths vector.

Ergodicity conditions for many related networks can often be expressed as rate
conditions. For (reliable) nodes in Jackson networks the arrival rate of each
node has to be strictly less than its service rate. If for some nodes this
condition is violated, the network process is not ergodic. Nevertheless, it is
known that in such a situation, especially in large networks, parts of the
network (where the rate condition is fulfilled) in the long run stabilize. For
standard Jackson networks without breakdown of nodes, the asymptotics of such
stable subnetworks were derived by Goodman and Massey (1984).

In this diploma thesis, the asymptotic behavior of non-ergodic Jackson networks
with unreliable nodes is analyzed and it is shown that the state distribution of
the stable subnetworks converges to a Jackson-type product form distribution
which makes reliability and performance evaluation of such networks possible.

OLIVER HOHLFELD: STATISTICAL ERROR MODEL TO IMPAIR AN H.264 DECODER 
(MMB DIPLOMARBEITSPREIS 2010)

With provisioning of broadband access for mass market even in wireless and
mobile networks, multimedia content, especially real-time streaming of
high-quality audio and video, is extensively viewed and exchanged over the
Internet. Quality of Experience (QoE) aspects, describing the service quality
perceived by the user, are a vital factor in ensuring customer satisfaction in
today's network services. Creating frameworks for accessing quality degradations
in streamed video currently is investigated as a complex multi-layered research
topic, involving network traffic load, codec functions and measures of user
perception of video quality.

Within this area, the present thesis focuses on packet loss models and
corresponding impairments in real-time transmissions of H.264 encoded video
streams. Based on backbone traffic and DVB-H packet loss traces, stochastic
models for the packet loss process are evaluated and discussed. The aim is to
provide a Markovian generator for packet loss pattern for studying the impact of
imparements on the Quality of Experience. As traffic measurements on backbone
links rarely contain packet losses, a set of typical loss pattern was introduced
by simulating a tail-drop queue on a router's link interface feeded by observed
traffic, where smaller forwarding capacity is assumed to obtain higher load
levels. The approach is appropriate for UDP traffic, whereas the much more
complex TCP rate control and its impact on traffic variability was left for
further study. The resulting packet loss process and the impact of queue
dimensioning on the packet loss process, are discussed.

The main contribution of the Master thesis is a new parameter estimation
technique for Markovian point processes. Second-order statistics for the
distribution of the number of lost packets over multiple time-scales are derived
from moment generating functions and moment matching is used to adapt a Markov
process to error pattern observed in multiple time-scales. The second order
statistics in multiple time-scales is equivalent to the autocorrelation function
of a process. An explicit analytical expression is derived for the
Gilbert-Elliott model to compute the statistics on arbitrary scales based on
four parameters, which gives clear insight for the reverse process of parameter
adaptation to observed statistics in relevant time scales.

The experience in applying the results to loss processes from several sources
suggest that the classical 2-state Gilbert-Elliott model already captures a wide
range of observed loss pattern. The proposed approach leads to a closer match in
multiple time scales than classical methods with more flexibility to include
information from different time scales, enabling a simple and useful fit for
long traces of traffic and packet loss processes. There is a large amount of
work utilizing the Gilbert-Elliott model, focusing on fitting error run and gap
lengths rather than long term correlation.

The analytical study of loss pattern is supplemented with a qualitative
investigation of their effects on QoE metrics for video transmission. In
general, impairments of video sequences are sensitive to different assumptions
on loss processes yielding different reaction in coding of slices and frames,
which stresses the importance of refering to the most relevant pattern.

A reference set of error processes was obtained from Gilbert-Elliott models
correnponding to traffic profiles at different load versus error rate levels
with additional parameters being adapted to observed loss pattern statistics.
The set is used for impairment of H.264 encoded, high definition (HD) IPTV video
streams in order to derive properties of impaired and unimpaired HDTV video
sequences. A comparison of 2400 impaired video sequences led to strong evidence
that uniform packet losses produce a larger distortion than busty packet losses
at the same and sufficiently high rate, since the former affect more frames on
the video coding layers. Moreover, the results suggest that created impairments
at the video layer are affected by the applied parameter estimation technique.

CHRISTIAN HÜBSCH, CHRISTOPH MAYER, OLIVER WALDHORST: USER-PERCEIVED PERFORMANCE
OF THE NICE APPLICATION LAYER MULTICAST PROTOCOL IN LARGE AND HIGHLY DYNAMIC
GROUPS (MMB 2010 BEST PAPER AWARD)

The presentation of a landmark paper by Chu et al. at SIGMETRICS 2000 introduced
application layer multicast (ALM) as completely new area of network research.
Many researchers have since proposed ALM protocols, and have shown that these
protocols only put a small burden on the network in terms of link-stress and
-stretch. However, since the network is typically not a bottleneck, user
acceptance remains the limiting factor for the deployment of ALM. In this paper
we present a in-depth study of the user-perceived performance of the NICE ALM
protocol. We use the OverSim simulation framework to evaluate delay experienced
by a user and bandwidth consumption on the user's access link in large multicast
groups and under aggressive churn models. Our major results are (1) latencies
grow moderate with increasing number of nodes as clusters get optimized, (2)
join delays get optimized over time, and (3) despite being a tree-dissemination
protocol NICE handles churn surprisingly well when adjusting heartbeat intervals
accordingly. We conclude that NICE comes up to the user's expectations even for
large groups and under high churn.
