IP Performance Metrics : Spatial and Multicast
RFC 5644, “IP Performance Metrics : Spatial and Multicast”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2009 by E. Stephan, L. Liang, A. Morton. It has since been updated by RFC 6248. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IETF has standardized IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) for measuring end-to-end performance between two points. This memo defines two new categories of metrics that extend the coverage to multiple measurement points. It defines spatial metrics for measuring the performance of segments of a source to destination path, and metrics for measuring the performance between a source and many destinations in multiparty communications (e.g., a multicast tree). [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.
