Hysteretic Control Technique for Overload Problem Solution in Network of SIP Servers

This paper contains research and development results concerning application of hysteretic control principles to solve SIP servers overload problem, which is known from a number of IETF standards and scientific papers published over the past few years. The problem is that SIP protocol, being the application layer protocol, by default has no build-in means of overload control, as, for example, SS7, MTP2 and MTP3 protocols. It was the SS7 network, where a threshold mechanism of hysteretic signalling load control was first implemented. In this paper we describe the main up-to-date solutions of an overload control problem in a signalling network, and develop analytical models of hysteretic control, which are useful in the development of load management functions of SIP servers. We also propose the design of Open SIP signalling Node (OSN) software architecture which is intended to be used for simulations and comparison of various overload control mechanisms

Queuing model for loss-based overload control in a SIP server using a hysteretic technique

In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of a load control mechanism for SIP server signaling networks based on a hysteretic technique developed for SS7 from ITU-T Recommendation Q.704. We investigate loss-based overload control, as proposed in recent IETF documents. The queuing model takes into account three types of system state - normal load, overload, and discard. The hysteretic control is made possible by introducing two thresholds in the buffer of total size B - the overload onset threshold H and the overload abatement threshold L. We denote the mathematical model using the modified Kendall notation as an M|G|1| 〈L, H〉 | B queue with hysteretic load control. We also develop an analytical model for the case of an M|M|1 queue and a simulation model for an M|D|1 queue. We investigate the return time from an overload state as the target performance measure of overload control in a SIP server, and provide numerical examples in order to examine the difference between the M|M|1 and M|D|1 systems. © 2012 Springer-Verlag

Queuing model for SIP server hysteretic overload control with bursty traffic

In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of a load control mechanism for SIP server signaling networks based on a hysteretic technique. We investigate loss-based overload control, as proposed in recent IETF documents. The queuing model takes into account three types of system state - normal load, overload, and discard. The hysteretic control is made possible by introducing two thresholds, L and H, in the buffer of total size R. We denote the mathematical model using the modified Kendall notation as an queue with hysteretic load control and bursty input flow. Algorithms for computation the key performance parameters of the system were obtained. A numerical example illustrating the control mechanism that minimizes the return time from overloading states satisfying the throttling and mean control cycle time constraints is also presented. © 2013 Springer-Verlag
