This draft is a work item of the Internet Traffic Engineering Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Requirements for Internet Traffic Engineering
Measurement

In this document, we identify requirements for supporting the
traffic engineering of IP networks. Requirements for traffic
measurement in service provider environments are presented and
justified, and related issues are discussed.
Highlights of requirements are:
1. To aid network dimensioning, mechanisms to collect node-pair-
based traffic data are required to facilitate the derivation of per-
service-class traffic matrix statistics.
2. For service assurance, the use of higher-order statistics is
required.
3. To preserve representative traffic detail at manageable sample
volumes, packet-sampled measurements are required.
4. To manage large volumes of measured data, use of bulk transfer
and filtering/aggregation mechanisms are required.

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.
