The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm) to consider the following document: - 'Round-trip Loss Metrics' <draft-ietf-ippm-rt-loss-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-03-19. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Many user applications (and the transport protocols that make them possible) require two-way communications. To assess this capability, and to achieve test system simplicity, round-trip loss measurements are frequently conducted in practice. The Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol specified in RFC 5357 establishes a round-trip loss measurement capability for the Internet. However, there is currently no metric specified according to the RFC 2330 framework. This memo adds round-trip loss to the set of IP Performance Metrics (IPPM). There is a normative down-ref to RFC 2330, which has been used in this way by the IPPM working group before, and is present in the IESG's down-ref registry. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-rt-loss/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-rt-loss/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
