Title : IPv6 Performance and Diagnostic Metrics Destination Option Authors : Nalini Elkins Keven Haining US Bank Michael S. Ackermann Filename : draft-elkins-6man-ipv6-pdm-dest-option-05.txt Pages : 13 Date : 2014-01-27 Abstract: To diagnose performance and connectivity problems, metrics on real (non-synthetic) transmission are critical for timely end-to-end problem resolution. Such diagnostics may be real-time or after the fact, but must not impact an operational production network. The base metrics are: packet sequence number and packet timestamp. Metrics derived from these will be described separately. This document solves these problems with a new destination option, the Performance and Diagnostic Metrics destination option (PDM).
