Abstract
Several areas for possible improvement or clarification of the existing TIA-921 and TIA-921-A models are presented, including bandwidth limitation, duplicate test cases, CBR vs VBR sources, and time correlation of fwd/rev impairments.

Bandwidth limitations
TIA-921 does not require policing or shaping of user data
This is wrong for several reasons: In real-life, a rate-limited link drops packets
when the user bit rate exceeds the link bit rate.
In real life, a rate-limited link drops packet bursts that exceed the available buffer size.
In real life, a rate-limited link smooths out traffic bursts. The amount of that effect will depend on link utilization and the proportion of user traffic that that represents.

Note: P5 is dropped.
Note: The output bit rate for this example is ½ the input bit rate. Theeffect is even more pronounced forlarger ratios (such as T1/GigE).

Duplicate Test cases
The TIA-921 model is unidirectional The code in the reference model ignores
reverse link bit rates, except for calculating LOOs
Examples: TIA-921: TC10 and TC19 are same (A2B) TIA-921-A: TC49 and TC73 are same (A2B)
Summary: TIA-921: 92 of the 120 have duplicates TIA-921-A: 48 of 96 Lan2Lan cases have dupes.
A fundamental assumption is that the model calculates new impairment values for approximately each packet Thus we used 1ms update rate for 1k pps voice And we used a 50us update rate for DTV
But, if traffic is bursty, and a whole burst of packets arrives during a timeslot which is marked for drop, the entire burst can get clobbered merely by being unlucky.
The model should have a way to handle bursty traffic more correctly.

Time correlation of fwd/rev For bidirectional emulation using the model,
we must create two instances of the model One for the forward link and one for the reverse.
These two models are not time correlated Therefore congestion in the forward link is
uncorrelated with congestion in the reverse link. Link failure and route flap are also uncorrelated.
I believe that in the real world there will be significant correlation between the two directions.
The model should have a way to mimic this behavior.
This leads to uncontrolled assymetry of delay Certain services may be sensitive to delay
assymetry e.g. Two-way time transfer: NTP, PTP and CESoETH

Conclusions Bandwidth limiting and smoothing are
important missing components of the existing model and should be added.
The rate combinations contain some redundancy that leads to confusion. Further work is required to determine if there’s a better way to designate the various rate combinations
VBR traffic can be “unlucky” and get zapped. Further works is required to determine how to address this
Forward and reverse models have no time correlation. This should be added to the model.
