One-way Active Measurement Protocol Requirements

Overview

RFC 3763, “One-way Active Measurement Protocol Requirements”, is an Informational document published in April 2004 by S. Shalunov, B. Teitelbaum. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

With growing availability of good time sources to network nodes, it becomes increasingly possible to measure one-way IP performance metrics with high precision. To do so in an interoperable manner, a common protocol for such measurements is required. This document specifies requirements for a one-way active measurement protocol (OWAMP) standard. The protocol can measure one-way delay, as well as other unidirectional characteristics, such as one-way loss. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
