For example, link delay between Provider Edge (PE) and Provider (P) devices and packet loss status on Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces connecting PEs and Customer Edge (CE) devices directly impact VPN service performance. Additionally, the integration of Layer2/Layer2 / Layer 3 VPN performance and network performance data enables the orchestrator to monitor consistently. Therefore, this document defines a YANG module for both network and VPN service performance monitoring (PM).

For example, the performance monitoring data per link in the underlying networks can be collected using a network performance measurement method such as the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) <xreftarget="RFC4656"/>,target="RFC4656" format="default"/>, Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) <xreftarget="RFC5357"/>,target="RFC5357" format="default"/>, Simple Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) <xreftarget="RFC8762"/>,target="RFC8762" format="default"/>, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Loss and Delay Measurement <xreftarget="RFC6374"/>target="RFC6374" format="default"/>, or InSitusitu OAM (IOAM) <xreftarget="RFC9197"/>.target="RFC9197" format="default"/>. The performance monitoring information reflecting the quality of the network or VPN service (e.g., network performance data between source node and destination node in the networks or between VPN sites) can be computed and aggregated, for example, using the information from the Traffic Engineering Database(TED),(TED) <xreftarget="RFC7471"/>target="RFC7471" format="default"/> <xreftarget="RFC8570"/>target="RFC8570" format="default"/> <xreftarget="RFC8571"/>,target="RFC8571" format="default"/> orLMAP (Large-ScaleLarge-Scale MeasurementPlatform)Platform (LMAP) <xreftarget="RFC8194"/>.</t>target="RFC8194" format="default"/>.</t> <t>The measurement and report intervals that are associated with these performance data usually depend on the configuration of the specific measurement method or collection method or various combinations.

There are three percentile values for configuring various percentile reporting levels. By default, low percentile (10th percentile), intermediate percentile (50th percentile), and high percentile (90th percentile) are used. Configuring a percentile to 0.000 indicates the client is not interested in receiving a particular percentile. If all percentile nodes are configured to 0.000,thisit represents that nopercentile relatedpercentile-related nodes will be reported for a given performance metric (e.g., one-waydelay,delay and one-way delay variation) and only peak/min values will be reported. For example, a client can inform the server that it is interested in receiving only high percentiles. Then for a givenlink,link at a given "start-time","end-time""end-time", and“measurement-interval","measurement-interval", the'high-delay-percentile'"high-delay-percentile" and'high-jitter-percentile'"high-jitter-percentile" will be reported.
