Multipoint Alternate-Marking Method for Passive and Hybrid Performance Monitoring
RFC 8889, “Multipoint Alternate-Marking Method for Passive and Hybrid Performance Monitoring”, is an Experimental document published in August 2020 by G. Fioccola, M. Cociglio, A. Sapio, R. Sisto. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9342 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Alternate-Marking method, as presented in RFC 8321, can only be applied to point-to-point flows, because it assumes that all the packets of the flow measured on one node are measured again by a single second node. This document generalizes and expands this methodology to measure any kind of unicast flow whose packets can follow several different paths in the network -- in wider terms, a multipoint-to-multipoint network. For this reason, the technique here described is called "Multipoint Alternate Marking".
What “Experimental” means
