A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF.
Title : A One-Way Packet Duplication Metric for IPPM
Author(s) : H. Uijterwaal
Filename : draft-ietf-ippm-duplicate-03.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2008-2-11
When a packet is sent from one host to the other, one normally
expects that exactly one copy of the packet that was sent arrives at
the destination. It is, however, possible that a packet is either
lost or that multiple copies arrive.
In earlier work, the IPPM (IP Performance Metrics) group defined a
metric for packet loss. This metric quantifies the case where a
packet that is sent, never arrives at its destination. In this memo, a metric for the opposite case is defined: a packet is sent, but
multiple copies arrive. The document also discusses streams and
methods to summarize the results of streams.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ippm-duplicate-03.txt".
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.
