Title : A Proposed Media Delivery Index
Author(s) : J. Welch, J. Clark
Filename : draft-welch-mdi-01.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2005-5-13
This memo defines a Media Delivery Index (MDI) measurement which can
be used as a diagnostic tool or a quality indicator for monitoring a
network intended to deliver UDP-based applications such as Streaming
Media MPEG video and Voice over IP or other arrival time and packet
loss sensitive information. It provides an indication of traffic
jitter, a measure of deviation from nominal flow rates, and a data
loss at-a-glance measure for a particular flow. For instance, the
MDI may be used as a reference in characterizing and comparing
networks carrying UDP Streaming Media. Included is a set of managed
objects for SNMP-based management of IP media streams for which an
MDI measurement is obtained.
The Media Delivery Index measurement and MIB defined in this memo is
intended for Information only.

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.
