Technical Summary
SIP has become a widely-used standard among many service providers,
vendors, and end users. Although there are many different standards
for measuring the performance of signaling protocols, none of them
specifically address SIP.
The scope of this document is limited to the definitions of a
standard set of metrics for measuring and reporting SIP performance
from an end-to-end perspective. The metrics introduce a common
foundation for understanding and quantifying performance expectations
between service providers, vendors, and the users of services based
on SIP. The intended audience for this document can be found among
network operators, who often collect information on the
responsiveness of the network to customer requests for services.
