The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Reference Path and Measurement Points for Large-Scale Measurement of Broadband Performance' (draft-ietf-ippm-lmap-path-07.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Spencer Dawkins and Martin Stiemerling. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-lmap-path/ Technical Summary This document defines a reference path for Large-scale Measurement of Broadband Access Performance (LMAP) and measurement points for commonly used performance metrics. The methods for measurement point location may be applicable to similar measurement projects using the extensions described here. Working Group Summary The document has had broad review within the IPPM and LMAP working groups. Many comments were received during first WGLC resulting in a substantial revision and a second WGLC. There is consensus within the IPPM working group (including participants from LMAP) to publish the document. Document Quality This document defines the reference path to be used in metric definitions and provides other guidance on how to use and deploy IPPM metrics in an LMAP context. Personnel The document shepherd is Brian Trammell. The responsible Area Director is Spencer Dawkins.
