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.}, }
