Technical Summary
This memo defines the set of Initial Entries for the IANA Performance
Metrics Registry (defined in draft-ietf-ippm-metric-registry).
The set includes, UDP Round-trip Latency and Loss,
Packet Delay Variation, DNS Response Latency and Loss, UDP Poisson
One-way Delay and Loss, UDP Periodic One-way Delay and Loss, ICMP
Round-trip Latency and Loss, and TCP round-trip Latency and Loss.
As the document provides an initial registry, the content is determined
both by initial requirements from the LMAP working group (which has
since concluded, taking a direction that no longer requires the registry)
as well as an analysis within the WG of commonly used metrics.
Working Group Summary
The document has been discussed extensively in the WG, and has had
significant input from the community.
Document Quality
The document does not specify a protocol. The design of the registry
(in draft-ietf-ippm-metric-registry) was "tested" by the entries in the initial
registry, and both of these have received early IANA review together.
Personnel
Brian Trammell is the Document Shepherd. Mirja Kuehlewind is the Responsible Area
Director.
