This document discusses a proposed solution for measuring the performance of a VPN tunnel, in terms of latency, packet loss and availability, using a standards based methodology. Although various vendors have provided methods of measuring VPN performance, all of them use either proprietary protocols or bespoke software. This paper proposes a standards based solution that can be easily integrated into an NMS (Network Management System).

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.
