In some use cases, the use of asymmetrical test packets allow for the creation of more realistic flows of test packets and, thus, a closer approximation between active performance measurements and conditions experienced by the monitored application. Also, the document includes an analysis of challenges related to performance monitoring in a multicast network. It defines procedures and STAMP extensions to achieve more efficient measurements with a lesser impact on a network.}, }
