Technical Summary
This memo (RFC 2680 bis) defines a metric for one-way delay of
packets across Internet paths. It builds on notions introduced and
discussed in the IPPM Framework document, RFC 2330. This memo
makes RFC 2680 obsolete.
Working Group Summary
There was nothing unusual or controversial within the working group.
Brian Carpenter identified an issue at last call time, that standard-formed
packets defined in RFC 2330, are only defined for IPv4. Rather than try
to address this comment piecemeal in draft-ietf-ippm-2679-bis,
draft-ietf-ippm-2680-bis, and various other drafts in IPPM, the authors
and Brian agreed that the right way to handle IPv6 was in a revision of
RFC 2330 itself, and work on this revision is underway.
Document Quality
The implementation report for RFC 2680 is available in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ippm-implement-02.
This draft is a minor revision of RFC 2680, being advanced
to Internet Standard.
Personnel
The document shepherd is Bill Cerveny.
The responsible area director is Spencer Dawkins.
