Such measurements may be interpreted in real-time or after the fact. An implementation of the existing IPv6 Destination Options extension header, the Performance and Diagnostic Metrics (PDM) Destination Options extension header has been proposed in a companion document. This document specifies the field limits, calculations, and usage of the PDM in measurement.}, }
