“…The information may also be transmitted through the use of network management protocols like the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and via future extensions to the SIP Management Information Base (MIB) modules [RFC4780], or through a potential undefined new performance metric event package [RFC3265] retrieved via SUBSCRIBE requests.…”
“…Each SIP server needs to monitor the re-receipt of a retransmitted SIP message. The MIB for SIP (i.e., sipCommonStatsRetries object in SIP MIB) [5] provides the message re-receipt. It is standardized that each SIP server counts the number of re-received SIP messages for each method/response code for a SIP message (types of the SIP message) and individual proximate nodes of the retransmitted message.…”

The number of SIP-based services provided by network service providers (NSPs) is increasing. SIP allows NSPs to collect the information on traffic control and charging fees for their customer communications. Monitoring SIP signaling messages (exchanged between SIP servers and user terminals) is vital for providing stable SIP-based services. One of the keys to monitoring SIP messages is quickly to determine a fault location where SIP messages are lost. If network operators can determine that there is a fault location somewhere between SIP nodes, they can quickly treat with the fault. The existing methods require abundant computing resources to support these procedures because of inspecting all the SIP messages. This paper proposes a lightweight method for determining the location of SIP message loss by focusing on the retransmission mechanism of SIP messages. Analyzing the retransmission mechanism, we reveal that the proposed method can determine the fault location by counting the number of the retransmitted messages on the limited SIP messages. The evaluation with a mathematical model shows that the proposed method can locate loss links of SIP messages with a sufficiently low probability of failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
