Abstract:
This memo defines the Active Performance Metrics sub-registry of the
Performance Metric Registry. This sub-registry will contain Active
Performance Metrics, especially those defined in RFCs prepared in the
IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Working Group of the IETF, and possibly
applicable to other 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 of which
determine the quantity measured and others of 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.
This memo proposes a way to organize registry entries into columns
that are well-defined, permitting consistent development of entries
over time (a column may marked NA if it is not applicable for that
metric). The design is intended to foster development of registry
entries based on existing reference RFCs, whilst each column serves
as a check-list item to avoid omissions during the registration
process. Every entry in the registry, before IANA action, requires
Expert review as defined by concurrent IETF work in progress
"Registry for Performance Metrics" (draft-ietf-ippm-metric-registry).
The document contains two examples: a registry entry for an active
Performance Metric entry based on RFC3393 and RFC5481, and a registry
entry for an end-point Performance Metric based on RFC 7003. The
examples are for Informational purposes and do not create any entry
in the IANA registry.
