Technical Summary
Measuring broadband service on a large scale requires a description
of the logical architecture and standardization of the key protocols
that coordinate interactions between the components. The document
presents an overall framework for large-scale measurements. It also
defines terminology for LMAP (large-scale measurement platforms).
Working Group Summary
The Working Group process was serious and a relative large number of
participants participated. Some of the points that required clarification
and further editing were related to passive monitoring and to privacy.
ll ended in consensus behind the document as it was forwarded for
approval and publication.
Document Quality
The document was very carefully reviewed and discussed by a
large number of participants in the WG, because it contains key
information concerning the scope, architecture and components of
the recommended solutions. Several issues were debated for many
months, the resulting document includes a strong consensus of the
participants about the goals (and non goals) of LMAP and the path
to be taken by the IETF to provide a standard solution.
