The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm) to consider the following document: - 'Support of IEEE-1588 time stamp format in Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)' <draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-time-format-02.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-03-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes an OPTIONAL feature for active performance measurement protocols allowing use of the Precision Time Protocol time stamp format defined in IEEE-1588v2-2008, as an alternative to the Network Time Protocol that is currently used.
