Reporting IP Network Performance Metrics: Different Points of View

Overview

RFC 6703, “Reporting IP Network Performance Metrics: Different Points of View”, is an Informational document published in August 2012 by A. Morton, G. Ramachandran, G. Maguluri. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Consumers of IP network performance metrics have many different uses in mind. This memo provides "long-term" reporting considerations (e.g., hours, days, weeks, or months, as opposed to 10 seconds), based on analysis of the points of view of two key audiences. It describes how these audience categories affect the selection of metric parameters and options when seeking information that serves their needs. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
