Abstract:
Techniques are described for performing subscriber aware two-way active measurement protocol (TWAMP) data session provisioning between two endpoints in a computer network. For example, the disclosed techniques include extending TWAMP control messaging to include a communication mode for negotiating subscriber-aware TWAMP data monitoring. If the communication mode is supported by both endpoints, a subscriber identifier is specified when a TWAMP data session is provisioned (negotiated) over the control session. The disclosed techniques further include extending TWAMP data messaging to include the subscriber identifier in each test packet for the data session. In this way, each of the endpoints may identify a subscriber corresponding to one or more received TWAMP test packets based on the subscriber identifier included in the received TWAMP test packets.

Claim (Index 14):
A router comprising:\n a plurality of forwarding units, each of the forwarding executing a two-way active measurement protocol (TWAMP) session reflector; and a control unit having one or more processors executing a TWAMP server, the one or more processors configured to:\n establish a control connection between the TWAMP server and a TWAMP control client, \n receive, with the TWAMP server and from the TWAMP control client, a TWAMP session request for a data session with a TWAMP session sender associated with the TWAMP control client, wherein the TWAMP session request specifies a subscriber identifier to an individual subscriber of a service provider network, \n receive one or more TWAMP test packets for the data session from the TWAMP session sender by one or more of the TWAMP session reflectors, each of the one or more TWAMP test packets including the subscriber identifier associated with the data session, and \n send, by the respective one of the TWAMP session reflectors that received the packets, the one or more TWAMP test packets back to the TWAMP session sender, each of the one or more TWAMP test packets including the subscriber identifier associated with the data session and at least one metric for the data session used to measure network performance between the router and the TWAMP session sender.
