Information Model and XML Data Model for Traceroute Measurements
RFC 5388, “Information Model and XML Data Model for Traceroute Measurements”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2008 by S. Niccolini, S. Tartarelli, J. Quittek, T. Dietz, M. Swany. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a standard way to store the configuration and the results of traceroute measurements. This document first describes the terminology used in this document and the traceroute tool itself; afterwards, the common information model is defined, dividing the information elements into two semantically separated groups (configuration elements and results elements). Moreover, an additional element is defined to relate configuration elements and results elements by means of a common unique identifier. On the basis of the information model, a data model based on XML is defined to store the results of traceroute 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.
