Large-Scale Broadband Measurement Use Cases
Abstract
Measuring broadband performance on a large scale is important for
network diagnostics by providers and users, as well as for public
policy. Understanding the various scenarios and users of measuring
broadband performance is essential to development of the Large-scale
Measurement of Broadband Performance (LMAP) framework, information
model, and protocol. This document details two use cases that can
assist in developing that framework. The details of the measurement
metrics themselves are beyond the scope of this document.

RFC 7536 LMAP Use Cases May 2015
1. Introduction
This document describes two use cases for the Large-scale Measurement
of Broadband Performance (LMAP). The use cases contained in this
document are (1) the Internet Service Provider Use Case and (2) the
Regulator Use Case. In the first, a network operator wants to
understand the performance of the network and the quality experienced
