A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5644 Title: IP Performance Metrics (IPPM): Spatial and Multicast Author: E. Stephan, L. Liang, A. Morton Status: Standards Track Date: October 2009 Mailbox: emile.stephan@orange-ftgroup.com, L.Liang@surrey.ac.uk, acmorton@att.com Pages: 57 Characters: 110407 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ippm-multimetrics-12.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5644.txt The IETF has standardized IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) for measuring end-to-end performance between two points. This memo defines two new categories of metrics that extend the coverage to multiple measurement points. It defines spatial metrics for measuring the performance of segments of a source to destination path, and metrics for measuring the performance between a source and many destinations in multiparty communications (e.g., a multicast tree). [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
