The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Packet Loss and Delay Measurement for MPLS Networks' (draft-ietf-mpls-loss-delay-04.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-loss-delay/ Technical Summary The ability to measure and monitor one and two-way packet loss and delay performance is a basic need of service providers delivering SLAs. These metrics are also realted to delay variation and channel throughput. This measurement capability also provides greater visibility for operators into the performance characteristics of their networks, thereby facilitating planning, troubleshooting, and evaluation. This document specifies protocol mechanisms to enable the efficient and accurate measurement of these performance metrics in MPLS networks. This document specifies two closely-related protocols, one for packet loss measurement (LM), and one for packet delay measurement (DM). Working Group Summary This document is an MPLS working group document. It is not part of the MPLS-TP project, however the companion functionality for MPLS-based Transport Networks makes reference to this document by defining a profile. The working group has reviewed this document with this fact in mind. Document Quality The document is well reviewed in the MPLS working group Personnel Loa Andersson (loa@pi.nu) is the Document Shepherd Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the Responsible AD _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
