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 : IPPM standard advancement testing Author(s) : Ruediger Geib Al Morton Reza Fardid Alexander Steinmitz Filename : draft-ietf-ippm-metrictest-05.txt Pages : 37 Date : 2011-11-30 This document specifies tests to determine if multiple independent instantiations of a performance metric RFC have implemented the specifications in the same way. This is the performance metric equivalent of interoperability, required to advance RFCs along the standards track. Results from different implementations of metric RFCs will be collected under the same underlying network conditions and compared using statistical methods. The goal is an evaluation of the metric RFC itself; whether its definitions are clear and unambiguous to implementors and therefore a candidate for advancement on the IETF standards track. This document is an Internet Best Current Practice.
