A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : IP Measurement Protocol (IPMP)

The practice and need for active network measurement is well
established, however current tools are not well suited to this task,
mostly because the protocols which they employ have not been designed
for measurement of the modern Internet.
The IP Measurement Protocol (IPMP) is based on packet-probes, and is
designed to allow routers to participate in measurements by the
insertion of path information as the probe passes between a pair of
hosts.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-bennett-ippm-ipmp-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
