Maguluri Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: August 2012 Mailbox: acmorton@att.com, gomathi@att.com, gmaguluri@att.com Pages: 27 Characters: 60152 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ippm-reporting-metrics-09.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6703.txt Consumers of IP network performance metrics have many different uses in mind. This memo provides "long-term" reporting considerations (e.g., hours, days, weeks, or months, as opposed to 10 seconds), based on analysis of the points of view of two key audiences. It describes how these audience categories affect the selection of metric parameters and options when seeking information that serves their needs. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document is a product of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF.
