A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Switch Testing for Streaming Media Applications
Author(s) : J. Welch, et al.
Filename : draft-welch-streaming-test-00.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2006-6-14
This memo defines a set of supplementary tests for networking
interconnection devices (switches) that can be used to evaluate and
compare their performance when used with streaming media. The Media
Delivery Index (MDI) [i3] measurement is employed as a convenient
stream quality indicator of input and output streams to indicate
cumulative stream jitter and packet loss under test load conditions.
Typical operating profiles are defined to focus test efforts on
common switch applications for unidirectional streaming media to
reduce the amount of testing required and to encourage device and
system evaluation in advance of deployment through use of a set of
reference tests.
The supplementary tests defined in this memo are 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.
