The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm) to consider the following document: - 'Rate Measurement Test Protocol Problem Statement' <draft-ietf-ippm-rate-problem-08.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-12-22. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This memo presents an access rate-measurement problem statement for test protocols to measure IP Performance Metrics. The rate measurement scenario has wide-spread attention of Internet access subscribers and seemingly all industry players, including regulators. Key test protocol aspects require the ability to control packet size on the tested path and enable asymmetrical packet size testing in a controller-responder architecture. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-rate-problem/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-rate-problem/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
