    abstract =  {We introduce a new class of model based metrics designed to determine if a long path can meet predefined end-to-end application performance targets. This is done by subpath at a time testing -- by applying a suite of single property tests to successive subpaths of a long path. In many cases these single property tests are based on existing IPPM metrics, with the addition of success and validity criteria. The subpath at a time tests are designed to facilitate IP providers eliminating all known conditions that might prevent the full end-to- end path from meeting the users target performance. This approach makes it possible to to determine the IP performance requirements needed to support the desired end-to-end TCP performance. The IP metrics are based on traffic patterns that mimic TCP but are precomputed independently of the actual behavior of TCP over the subpath under test. This makes the measurements open loop, eliminating nearly all of the difficulties encountered by traditional bulk transport metrics, which rely on congestion control equilibrium behavior. A natural consequence of this methodology is verifiable network measurement: measurements from any given vantage point are repeatable from other vantage points.
