The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) ' <draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Lars Eggert and Magnus Westerlund. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-09.txt Technical Summary The One-way Active Measurement Protocol [RFC4656] (OWAMP) provides a common protocol for measuring one-way metrics between network devices. OWAMP can be used bi-directionally to measure one-way metrics in both directions between two network elements. However, it does not accommodate round-trip or two-way measurements. This memo specifies a Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP), based on the OWAMP, that adds two-way or round-trip measurement capabilities. The TWAMP measurement architecture is usually comprised of two hosts with specific roles, and this allows for some protocol simplifications, making it an attractive alternative in some circumstances. Working Group Summary The working group has supported the document through the last few revisions, and it has been uncontroversial. Protocol Quality The document has been given thorough review by the group over its revisions, the key reviewers are listed in the acknowledgements section.
