1. RTC Performance Monitoring and Management Varun Singh @vr000m, @callstatsio Paris, 15th December 2014 Paris, 18th December 2014
3. Latency kills http://geek-and-poke.com/ 3
4. 4 The network burped
5. Gameplan •  Do nothing à It is someone else’s problem – Insufficient Capacity à upgrade plan – Misbehaving Browser à update or change – Or… NATs/Firewall – Other customer’s ISP 5
6. Gameplan 1.  Do nothing 2.  Wait for feedback/emails customers 3.  Active Monitoring –  RTCP monitoring –  WebRTC StatsAPI 6
7. Manual data gathering •  Use chrome://webrtc-internals •  User monitors their session 7
8. RTCP Monitoring 8 Endpoint Endpoint Middlebox MCU, SFU, TURN, … Monitor Monitor Monitor Third party Monitor Operations & Management System http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6792 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcweb-rtcp-xr-metrics Implement RTCP Extension Reports
9. WebRTC Stats API •  pc.getStats() – ICE Transport metrics – Audio metrics – Video metrics – Data channel metrics – … •  Configure settings via RtpSender and RtpReceiver. 9 http://w3c.github.io/webrtc-stats/
10. Performance Monitoring – Annoyances – Call setup time, call failures, NAT traversal •  Transport quality – Relayed or not – Session throughput, delay and loss •  Per-stream media quality – Quality Models, MoS, User feedback 10
11. Annoyances Your Infrastructure 11
12. Transport Metrics 12
13. 13 Media Quality
14. Connectivity 14 NetradarActive measurement platform http://www.netradar.org/en
15. Adaptivity Sender Receiver RTP Media stream (coded media, FEC, repair) RTCP Sender Reports •  Timing, synchronization •  Data rate, packet count •  “Traffic characteristics” RTCP Receiver Reports •  Long-term rough statistics •  Detailed statistics •  Instant event notifications •  Congestion information •  Dejittering, sync, playout •  Monitoring + reporting •  Instant event notifications •  Local error concealment Short-term adaptation •  Retransmissions •  Adaptive FEC •  Congestion control •  Temporal scaling •  Adaptive or switching video Long-term adaptation •  Codec choice •  Packetization size •  Flexible FEC, interleaving •  Simulcast Set 3rd Party “QoS” Monitor
16. Stream unusable Follow this work in RMCAT WG, https://tools.ietf.org/wg/rmcat/
17. Management •  Endpoint –  Congestion control –  Simulcast/SVC –  DSCP markings •  WebRTC Infra management –  TURN server –  Conference server (MCU, SFU, …) •  Network Management –  DPI à SNMP –  SDN/NFV 17
18. Measurement Architecture 18 Browser Internals (WebRTC Stack) Browser Internals (WebRTC Stack) WebRTC API WebRTC API APP APP WebRTC Server Signaling Protocol (e.g., SIP, Jingle, …) PeerConnection SRTP/DTLS/UDP Data/SCTP/DTLS/UDP Network Monitoring •  TURN •  Gateway Client Monitoring STATS API Monitoring Server HTTP or WebSockets HTTP, IPFIX, or NetFlow RTCP XR
19. 19 Gather Report Analyze FIX Deploy? webrtc-internal? via email? Has this been reported before? Did it solve the issue? Until next report? Collect Diagnose Fix Deploy
20. Scaling Infrastructure •  Monitoring meets adaptivity •  Docker or containers for signaling, SFUs, TURN infrastructures
