Alternate-Marking Method for Passive and Hybrid Performance Monitoring
RFC 8321, “Alternate-Marking Method for Passive and Hybrid Performance Monitoring”, is an Experimental document published in January 2018 by G. Fioccola, A. Capello, M. Cociglio, L. Castaldelli, M. Chen, L. Zheng, G. Mirsky, T. Mizrahi. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9341 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a method to perform packet loss, delay, and jitter measurements on live traffic. This method is based on an Alternate-Marking (coloring) technique. A report is provided in order to explain an example and show the method applicability. This technology can be applied in various situations, as detailed in this document, and could be considered Passive or Hybrid depending on the application.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
