A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF.
Title : One-Way Metric Applicability Statement
Author(s) : H. Uijterwaal, M. Kaeo
Filename : draft-ietf-ippm-owmetric-as-01.txt

Active traffic measurements are starting to become more widely used to
ascertain network performance characteristics. All active measurement
systems have the capability to measure one-way delay and one-way loss
metrics, as defined in RFC2679 [1] A One- way Delay Metric for IPPM and
RFC 2680 [2] A One-way Packet Loss Metric for IPPM, respectively. To
ensure that the resulting numbers have some meaning, we attempt to
characterize how the measurements are taken and what would ensure that
the end numbers are indeed meaningful. This document describes an
applicability statement (formerly known as best current practices) for
measuring the one-way delay and one-way loss metrics in operational
networks.

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.
