With the rise of AI-driven applications, network digital twins, and increasingly dynamic network environments, there is growing demand for performance management (PM) streaming capabilities. PM streaming enables proactive issue detection, allowing network operators to identify and address potential problems before they affect service. It also helps optimize resource allocation, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth and other network resources.¶
The ITU-T G.7710 standard provides a foundational framework for managing transport network elements, addressing requirements, parameters, and measurement methods for performance management. However, G.7710 does not define YANG data models or specific protocols needed for PM streaming, which are essential for modern network management. To support PM streaming, various IETF documents and protocols ([RFC9232], [RFC8639], [RFC8640], [RFC8641]) can be utilized. This document provides a YANG data model for PM streaming in network equipment based on ITU-T G.7710, demonstrating how to subscribe to the YANG model using the IETF push model.¶

PM streaming is a real-time method for measuring and transmitting data to monitor the performance and health of network devices and systems. It provides valuable insights into key metrics like errored seconds (ES), latency, and packet loss, helping to optimize networks, detect anomalies, and manage faults proactively. Unlike traditional periodic data collection, PM streaming delivers continuous updates, enabling faster, more responsive network adjustments.¶
Using telemetry protocols like YANG Push, PM streaming allows for more frequent and detailed performance monitoring. By integrating this data into AI-driven analytics, it supports preemptive interventions, enhancing overall network reliability. Additionally, it keeps digital twins synchronized with the physical network, offering real-time insights for predictive maintenance, planning, and optimization.¶
The procedures for Performance Management streaming between a network node and clients such as operation systems (OS), AI applications, Network digital twins (NDT) involve continuous measurement of performance metrics on PM parameters using three methods: counts (tracking event occurrences), snapshots (instantaneous metric values), and tidemarks (extreme values over a period). Clients can initiate the process by sending a subscription request specifying the metrics, measurement methods, intervals, and filtering criteria. Once the node confirms the subscription, it collects and aggregates PM data based on the requested metrics and intervals. Notifications with PM data, including timestamps, metrics, and measurement methods, are sent to clients at each interval via protocols like NETCONF or RESTCONF. Clients then process the data, using it for real-time monitoring, historical analysis, or triggering alerts based on thresholds. They can also manage subscriptions by modifying parameters or suspending them as needed.¶
In network performance monitoring, ITU-T G.7710 defines two measurement methods that measures a metric value with periodic intervals such as 15-minute or 24-hour periods: counter measurements ("counts") and gauge measurements ("Snapshots" and "tidemarks"). These complementary methods provide a holistic view of network behavior by capturing both long-term trends and real-time conditions. The counter measurements provide data on the frequency of specific events, enabling long-term analysis of recurring issues. Meanwhile, The gauge measurement involves capturing instantaneous values of performance monitoring metrics at one-second intervals. This high-frequency sampling occurs during defined periodic intervals rather than continuously. They offer real-time insight and capture extreme conditions, helping to identify immediate performance problems or deviations from normal behavior.¶
Counts measurement in network performance monitoring tracks the cumulative occurrences of specific events over a defined period, such as 15 minutes or 24 hours. This method captures how frequently certain network activities, like errors or transmission issues, occur, providing a historical view of recurring problems. Counts reset at the end of each interval, ensuring that every period starts with a fresh count for accurate monitoring. The primary purpose of counts is to identify trends and patterns in network behavior over time, helping operators detect anomalies or areas where issues frequently arise. This type of measurement is particularly useful for long-term analysis, enabling preventive maintenance and optimizing network performance. Unlike instantaneous measurements, counts focus on aggregation over time, making it easier to understand the persistence or recurrence of faults. The data gathered through counts helps in fault management and planning by highlighting repeated errors, congestion, or performance degradation that may affect service delivery. As a result, counts provide network operators with actionable insights for troubleshooting and capacity planning, ensuring smooth operation and reliability across the network.¶
Snapshots are instantaneous measurements taken at a specific point in time. They capture the instantaneous value of specific performance parameters at a regular, predefined point (uniform time) within each time interval. Snapshots provide a "momentary view" of network conditions, allowing operators to observe the network's status at specific intervals. The data from these uniform-time snapshots is then aggregated and analyzed to understand the immediate state across the entire network. By taking snapshots simultaneously across all network elements, operators can correlate data between different parts of the transport network. Snapshots are collected at pre-determined uniform time within fixed intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, 24 hours). The uniform time and fixed intervals can be configured based on the needs of the network.¶
Tidemark measurements record the maximum (high tidemark) and minimum (low tidemark) values that a performance parameter reaches during a specified observation window. These extreme values offer insight into the range of performance fluctuations, highlighting the best and worst conditions that occur within the monitoring period. Tidemark measurements provide deeper insights by capturing performance spikes or drops that may go unnoticed in average or cumulative data, enabling precise troubleshooting of intermittent or extreme conditions For instance, while the average error rate over a period may appear acceptable, a high tidemark could reveal intermittent spikes in errors that require attention. Conversely, a low tidemark may expose periods of severely degraded signal quality or throughput.¶
Clients can receive a streaming of value of the PM parameters (PM data) by the measurement methods of counts, snapshots, and tidemarks with various time intervals, after subscribing to them in equipment. The streaming data measured on the PM parameters are used for maintenance and Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring in networks.¶
Performance management data contribute to enhancing overall network reliability. It consists of Maintenance and QoS data generated by maintenance and QoS parameters respectively. These two categories serve different purposes and focus on distinct aspects of network management. By continuously tracking different aspects of network performance, they ensure that the network infrastructure remains robust, capable of meeting operational demands, and able to deliver consistent and high-quality services to users.¶
The Maintenance data is to ensure the overall operational integrity and reliability of the network. It is focused on maintaining the health of the physical network infrastructure, detecting and diagnosing faults, and addressing any issues that could compromise network stability. Maintenance-related performance parameters are typically aimed at identifying physical layer issues, equipment malfunctions, or any performance degradation. These metrics are particularly useful for preventive and corrective maintenance activities. Common maintenance metrics might include error counts, signal degradation measurements, and transmission errors. These types of data help in triggering alarms or initiating repairs to physical network elements, such as optical fiber problems or electrical signal faults.¶
On the other hand, the QoS data is primarily concerned with monitoring and ensuring the quality of services delivered over the network. While maintenance focuses on network health at the infrastructure level, QoS is centered on the performance of data transmission and how effectively the network meets the needs of end-users. QoS data is used to measure the quality of services such as voice, video, and other data applications that require stable and reliable network performance. Metrics for QoS often include latency (the delay in data transmission), jitter (the variation in packet arrival times), packet loss, bandwidth utilization, and throughput. These metrics are crucial in ensuring that the network delivers services at a level that meets or exceeds the expectations outlined in service-level agreements (SLAs).¶
Maintenance data typically deal with the health and status of individual network elements or links. They often involve unidirectional measurements to detect faults or issues in specific components or paths. QoS data often need to be measured in both directions of a communication path to ensure overall service quality. This is because many applications and services rely on two-way communication, and the user experience depends on performance in both directions.¶
In network performance management, periodic time intervals of 15 minutes and 24 hours are commonly used for network nodes to measure and notify performance data of clients. These intervals serve distinct purposes, helping network operators monitor both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends in network performance.¶
The 15-minute interval provides granular, real-time monitoring, allowing network operators to quickly detect and address short-term issues such as spikes in latency or packet loss. It is particularly useful for ensuring compliance with Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and for managing highly dynamic networks where rapid changes can occur. In contrast, the 24-hour interval is used for long-term performance monitoring and trend analysis, helping operators understand overall network health, detect slow-developing issues, and plan for future capacity needs. This longer interval offers a broader view of the network's performance over a full day, making it ideal for strategic planning and infrastructure maintenance. Together, these intervals enable both immediate responses to network conditions and long-term network optimization.¶
In the context of recent emerging technologies like AI and network digital twins, smaller sampling intervals are becoming increasingly necessary. These technologies demand real-time or near-real-time performance data to function optimally. As these technologies become more integral to advanced network operations, the shift towards smaller sampling intervals ensures that they can operate efficiently, react to network changes faster, and improve overall network reliability and performance.¶
Metric value of PM parameters is measured for maintenance and QoS monitoring over networks. Key PM parameters focused on circuit networks are listed as follows. Additional parameters will be needed for packet networks.¶

According to the types of the measurement methods, purposes, and time intervals, different parameters are used.¶
Threshold Events are triggered when a metric value reaches or crosses a pre-defined threshold. There are two types of threshold event notifications: Periodic and non-periodic event notifications.¶
Periodic events are triggered when the count or gauge value reaches a pre-defined threshold during periodic measurements including counts, snapshots, and tidemarks for performance parameters.¶
[Counter measurement events]¶
Counter measurement ("counts") has two types of threshold reporting methods: transient and standing condition methods. The transient condition method treats each measurement period separately. As soon as a threshold is reached or crossed in a 15-minute/24-hour period, for a given performance measurement, a threshold report (TR) is generated. The standing condition method is an option for 15-minute periods. The standing condition is raised, and a TR (Threshold Report) is generated, when the set threshold is reached or crossed. The standing condition is cleared, and a reset threshold report (RTR) is generated, when at the end of the period the current value is below or equal to the reset threshold, provided that there was no unavailable time during that period.¶
[Gauge measurement events]¶
For gauge measurements ("snapshots" and "tidemarks"), an overflow condition is determined and an out of range report is generated as soon as the gauge value reaches or crosses the high threshold. an underflow condition is determined and an out of range report is generated as soon as the gauge value is at or below the low threshold. The out of range methods are applicable for 15-minute and 24-hour measurements.¶
Non-periodic events are triggered regardless of the measurement methods such as counts, snapshots, and tidemarks. The following parameters are used for the non-periodic events.¶

Below are practical use cases demonstrating different subscription scenarios. These examples illustrate periodic and non-periodic subscriptions, including notifications triggered by threshold breaches. Each example aligns with IETF YANG Push protocols, showcasing how network elements generate and stream performance data based on subscription parameters.¶

The snapshots are taken every 2 minutes, and the high-oor-threshold that is the threshold value of the event condition of the high out of range is set to 8 seconds.¶
