The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm) to consider the following document: - 'Ericsson TWAMP Value-Added Octets' <draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-value-added-octets-03.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2012-06-28. 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 This memo describes an extension to the TWAMP test protocol for identifying and managing packet trains, which enables measuring capacity metrics like the available path capacity, tight section capacity and UDP delivery rate in the forward and reverse path directions. This memo contains the description of a working prototype. It does not represent a consensus of the IETF community. The IETF community is currently working on the problem statement and has not reached consensus on the preferred method for measuring capacity metrics. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-value-added-octets/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-value-added-octets/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1782/
