Metrics and Methods for IP Capacity
draft-morton-ippm-capacity-metric-method-01
Abstract
This memo revisits the problem of Network Capacity metrics first
examined in RFC 5136. The memo specifies a more practical Maximum
IP-layer Capacity metric definition catering for measurement
purposes, and outlines the corresponding methods of measurement.
Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
