Abstract:
This memo investigates a scheme to organize registry entries,
especially those defined in RFCs prepared in the IP Performance
Metrics (IPPM) Working Group of the IETF, and applicable to all IETF
metrics. Three aspects make IPPM metric registration difficult: (1)
Use of the Type-P notion to allow users to specify their own packet
types. (2) Use of flexible input variables, called Parameters in IPPM
definitions, some which determine the quantity measured and others
which should not be specified until execution of the measurement. (3)
Allowing flexibility in choice of statistics to summarize the results
on a stream of measurement packets. Specifically, this memo proposes
a way to organize registry entries into columns that are well-
defined, permiting consistent development of entries over time.
Also, this fosters development of registry entries based on existing
reference RFCs for performance metrics, and requires expert review
for every entry before IANA action.
