Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document extends Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol
   (STAMP) to implement performance measurement on every member link of
   a Link Aggregation Group (LAG).  Knowing the measured metrics of each
   member link of a LAG enables operators to enforce a performance based
   traffic steering policy across the member links.

Working Group Summary

The one point of controversy was around the applicability or rather the wording of
this draft. Micro-sessions could be useful in more cases than measuring LAG groups
and to be able to measure LAG groups you need a very specific deployment.  There
were suggestions to remove all mentions of LAG from the document and generalize
the concept. 

Document Quality

Several implementations of the sister specification (draft-ietf-ippm-otwamp-on-lag) 
have been announced. But non of this specification so far.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Marcus Ihlar. The Responsible
   Area Director is Martin Duke.
