A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IPPM Considerations for the IPv6 PDM Destination Option Authors : Nalini Elkins Robert Hamilton Michael S. Ackermann Filename : draft-elkins-ippm-pdm-option-01.txt Pages : 19 Date : 2014-10-10 Abstract: To measure performance and to diagnose performance and connectivity problems, metrics embedded in each packet are critical for timely and accurate problem resolution. Such diagnostics may be interpreted in real-time or after the fact. The base metrics are: packet sequence number and packet timing. An implementation of the existing IPv6 Destination Options extension header, the Performance and Diagnostic Metrics (PDM) Destination Options extension header has been proposed. This document specifies the metrics, field limits, calculation, and usage of the PDM.
