Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol Optional Extensions
Abstract
This document describes optional extensions to Simple Two-way Active
Measurement Protocol (STAMP) that enable measurement of performance
metrics. The document also defines a STAMP Test Session Identifier
and thus updates RFC 8762.

1. Introduction
The Simple Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) [RFC8762]
defines the STAMP base functionalities. This document specifies the
use of optional extensions that use Type-Length-Value (TLV) encoding.
Such extensions enhance the STAMP base functions, such as measurement
of one-way and round-trip delay, latency, packet loss, packet
duplication, and out-of-order delivery of test packets. This
specification defines optional STAMP extensions, their formats, and
the theory of operation. Also, a STAMP Test Session Identifier is
defined as an update of the base STAMP specification [RFC8762].
