Abstract

This document discusses a proposed solution for measuring the performance of a VPN tunnel, in terms of latency, packet loss and availability, using a standards based methodology. Although various vendors have provided methods of measuring VPN performance, all of them use either proprietary protocols or bespoke software. This paper proposes a standards based solution that can be easily integrated into an NMS (Network Management System).
