Description changed to Performance Metrics Directorate

The Performance Metrics Directorate assists the OPS Area Directors to review performance-related documents intended for IESG review.

The Performance Metrics Directorate can also act as advisors to Working Groups in any area of the IETF: it provides guidance to protocol development Working Groups when considering an Internet-Draft that specifies Performance Metrics for a protocol. Such can be arranged between the WG chairs and the Directorate Chairs (or the responsible ADs).

In forthcoming reviews, the Performance Metrics Directorate will be applying the Guidelines for Considering New Performance Metric Development, RFC 6390.

The review will cover the following items:

* Are the performance metrics unambiguously defined?

* Are the units of measure specified?

* Does the metric clearly define the measurement interval where applicable?

* Are significant sources of measurement errors identified and discussed?

* Does the method of measurement ensure that results are repeatable?

* Does the metric or method of measurement appear to be implementable (or offer evidence of a working implementation)?

* Are there any undocumented assumptions concerning the underlying process that would affect an implementation or interpretation of the metric?

* Can the metric results be related to application performance or user experience, when such a relationship is of value?

* Is there an existing relationship to metrics defined elsewhere within the IETF or within other SDOs?

* Do the security considerations adequately address denial-of-service attacks, unwanted interference with the metric/measurement, and user data confidentiality (when measuring live traffic)?

* Is the method of measurement described or referenced. If described, does it describe how the metrics are being measured and wherever other protocols are applicable as well. If other protocols are applicable as well, does it answer how described measurement method differs. from Performance Metrics Directorate
