The analytics consumer (e.g., VAL server, EES) of the ADAE server analytics service sends a server-to-server analytics subscription request to the ADAE server. Such request can include whether the analytics notification shall be periodic or based on an expected application QoS change (in that case also the thresholds can be provided at the request)
The ADAE server identifies server#1 where the session performance analytics need to be performed. The ADAES server sends an Inter-server data request to server #1. Such request includes QoS attributes to be analysed (latency, bitrate, jitter, application layer PER) based on the request in step 1.
Bases on the request, measurement may be started between the server#1 and server#2. Such data can be about the latency, throughput, jitter, QoE measurements, PQI load, etc.
Based on the request, the ADAE server receives historical inter-server performance analytics by receiving a Server-to-server analytics response from A-ADRF.
The ADAE server abstracts or correlates the data/analytics from step 5-7. Based on the request in step 1, ADAES may also provide predictions for performance change.
Table 8.13.3.2-1 describes information elements for the server-to-server performance analytics subscription request from the analytics consumer (e.g., the VAL server, EES) to the ADAE server.
The identifier of the analytics consumer (VAL server, EES etc.).
Analytics ID
O
The identifier of the analytics event. This ID can be for example "server-to-server performance analytics".
Analytics type
M
The type of analytics for the event, e.g. statistics or predictions.
List of server identifiers and addresses
M
Identifier of the servers, e.g. SEAL server ID, EASID, EESID, and IP address(es) for which the analytics subscription applies.
VAL service ID
O
The VAL service for which the subscription applies.
Reporting requirements
O
Requirements for analytics reporting. The requirements may include for example the type and frequency of reporting (periodic or event triggered), the reporting periodicity in case of periodic, and reporting thresholds.
Area of Interest
O
The geographical or service area for which the subscription request applies.
Preferred confidence level
O
The level of accuracy for the analytics service (in case of prediction).
Table 8.13.3.3-1 describes information elements for the server-to-server performance analytics subscription response from the ADAE server to the analytics consumer.
Table 8.13.3.4-1 describes information elements for the server-to-server performance analytics notification from the ADAE server to the analytics consumer.
The identifier of the analytics event. This ID can be for example "Server-to-server performance analytics".
Analytics type
M
Whether analytics event is about prediction or statistics.
List of server identifiers and addresses
M
Identifier of the servers, e.g. SEAL server ID, EASID, EESID, and IP address(es) for which the analytics subscription applies.
QoS attributes
M
The QoS attributes (latency, bitrate, jitter, application layer PER) to be collected.
Data collection requirements
O
The requirements for data collection, including the format of data, level of abstraction of data, level of accuracy of data, if the measurements should be from real-time measurements or offline data.
The result of the analytics data request (positive or negative acknowledgement).
Analytics ID
O
The identifier of the analytics event.
List of server identifiers and addresses
O
Identifier of the servers, e.g. SEAL server ID, EASID, EESID, and IP address(es) for which the analytics subscription applies.
Data Output
O
The reported data for the server-to server sessions, which can be in form of offline stats/historical data or real-time measurements on the requested QoS parameters.
Identifier of the servers, e.g. SEAL server ID, EASID, EESID, for which the analytics subscription applies.
Data Output
M
The reported data, which can be in form of measurements or offline/historical data on the requested QoS attributes. The reported data includes historical inter-server performance analytics.
