The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A framework for Large-Scale Measurement of Broadband Performance (LMAP)' (draft-ietf-lmap-framework-14.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Large-Scale Measurement of Broadband Performance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lmap-framework/ Technical Summary Measuring broadband service on a large scale requires a description of the logical architecture and standardization of the key protocols that coordinate interactions between the components. The document presents an overall framework for large-scale measurements. It also defines terminology for LMAP (large-scale measurement platforms). Working Group Summary The Working Group process was serious and a relative large number of participants participated. Some of the points that required clarification and further editing were related to passive monitoring and to privacy. ll ended in consensus behind the document as it was forwarded for approval and publication. Document Quality The document was very carefully reviewed and discussed by a large number of participants in the WG, because it contains key information concerning the scope, architecture and components of the recommended solutions. Several issues were debated for many months, the resulting document includes a strong consensus of the participants about the goals (and non goals) of LMAP and the path to be taken by the IETF to provide a standard solution. Personnel Dan Romascanu is the document shepherd. Benoit Claise is the responsible Area Director.
