A host with multiple interfaces needs to choose the best interface for
communication. Oftentimes, this decision is based on a static
configuration and does not consider the path characteristics, which
may affect the user experience.
This document describes a mechanism for an endpoint to measure the
path characteristics fractional loss and RTT using Session Traversal
Utilities for NAT (STUN) messages.
This document is a product of the TURN Revised and Modernized Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
