These metrics and their derivations can be used for network diagnostics. The base metrics are: packet sequence number and packet timestamp. The timestamp fields require time synchronization at the two end points. This document provides implementation guidelines for implementing Network Time Protocol (NTP) to provide such synchronization.}, }
