Performance Evaluation of the CPE WAN Management Protocol Serafeim Papastefanos NTUA Outline Introduction to CWMP Advantages / disadvantages of CWMP Performance metrics Improvements Results Implementation details Conclusions The CPE WAN Management Protocol (TR-69) Advantages of CWMP Usage of TCP Reliability No problem transferring bulk data Passing through firewalls as HTTP traffic Avoidance of persistent connections Usage of XML Extensibility Lots of tools Disadvantages of CWMP Usage of XML Increased requirements in bandwidth Increased requirements in resources Especially in TR069 clients which are embedded devices Single ACS This may be an issue in a multi-provider environment Performance Metrics Processing time Decoding and encoding of messages Management process Network delay Memory requirements Bandwidth requirements GetParameterValues and GetParameterValuesResponse messages will be used for measurements Improvements Generic parsers DOM Can also be used for encoding or messages SAX Encoding has to be done “by hand” Easy to use – more resource requirements Non-generic parsers Harder to use – less resource requirements Compression We reduce the bandwidth requirements but increase the processing time. Memory requirements Encoding / decoding time Compression sizes Time needed for management Implementation details A mini-ITX with a 600 MHz CPU was used. CWMP client build in C Intel’s IXML library used for DOM parsing Our implementation of non-generic parser mallinfo() to measure the DOM tree memory requirements minilzo library to implement compression gettimeofday() used to measure time Conclusions TR069 has many advantages over NETCONF and SNMP TR069 benefits from compression of messages, even in high network links Using SAX or even better non-generic parsers instead of DOM optimizes resource usage and speed www.ist-muse.eu ICCS / NTUA www.ist-muse.eu CWMP Was published in MAY 2004 in DSL forums technical report 69. As I said, it is a protocol for the remote ma
