A One-way Active Measurement Protocol
RFC 4656, “A One-way Active Measurement Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2006 by S. Shalunov, B. Teitelbaum, A. Karp, J. Boote, M. Zekauskas. It has since been updated by RFC 7717, RFC 7718, RFC 8545. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) measures unidirectional characteristics such as one-way delay and one-way loss. High-precision measurement of these one-way IP performance metrics became possible with wider availability of good time sources (such as GPS and CDMA). OWAMP enables the interoperability of these measurements. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
