1. Introduction
This document defines a reference path for Large-scale Measurement of
Broadband Access Performance (LMAP). The series of IP Performance
Metrics (IPPM) RFCs have developed terms that are generally useful
for path description (section 5 of [RFC2330]). There are a limited
number of additional terms needing definition here, and they will be
defined in this memo.
The reference path is usually needed when attempting to communicate
precisely about the components that comprise the path, often in terms
of their number (hops) and geographic location. This memo takes the
path definition further, by establishing a set of measurement points
along the path and ascribing a unique designation to each point.
This topic has been previously developed in section 5.1 of [RFC3432],
and as part of the updated framework for composition and aggregation,
