Spatial Composition of Metrics
RFC 6049, “Spatial Composition of Metrics”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2011 by A. Morton, E. Stephan. It has since been updated by RFC 6248. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo utilizes IP performance metrics that are applicable to both complete paths and sub-paths, and it defines relationships to compose a complete path metric from the sub-path metrics with some accuracy with regard to the actual metrics. This is called "spatial composition" in RFC 2330. The memo refers to the framework for metric composition, and provides background and motivation for combining metrics to derive others. The descriptions of several composed metrics and statistics follow. [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.
