1 Scope
The offer of new NGN services requires new KPIs, QoS measurement and benchmarking methods which are needed to
ensure the quality of new services. To ensure the comparability of test results, reference benchmarking methods and
background traffic load profiles are needed. The present document describes key performance indicators and
benchmarking methods for the spectrum of potential applications. All access technologies offered by the operator under
test are considered.
The present document is the second part of the multi-part deliverable which consists of four parts. The present
document contains the Reference benchmarking and KPIs for High speed internet.
