Abstract:
The IETF has developed a one-way packet loss metric that measures the loss
rate on a Poisson and Periodic probe streams between two hosts. However, the impact of packet loss
on applications is, in general, sensitive not just to the average loss rate but also to the
way in which packet losses are distributed in loss episodes (i.e., maximal sets
of consecutively lost probe packets). This document defines one-way packet loss episode
metrics, specifically, the frequency and average duration of loss episodes and a probing
methodology under which the loss episode metrics are to be measured. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
