Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol Reflect Octets and Symmetrical Size Features
RFC 6038, “Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol Reflect Octets and Symmetrical Size Features”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2010 by A. Morton, L. Ciavattone. It updates RFC 5357. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo describes two closely related features for the core specification of the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP): an optional capability where the responding host returns some of the command octets or padding octets to the sender, and an optional sender packet format that ensures equal test packet sizes are used in both directions. [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.
