Clustered Alternate-Marking Method
RFC 9342, “Clustered Alternate-Marking Method”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2022 by G. Fioccola, M. Cociglio, A. Sapio, R. Sisto, T. Zhou. It obsoletes RFC 8889. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document generalizes and expands the Alternate-Marking methodology to measure any kind of unicast flow whose packets can follow several different paths in the network; this can result in a multipoint-to-multipoint network. The network clustering approach is presented and, for this reason, the technique described here is called "Clustered Alternate Marking". This document obsoletes RFC 8889.
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.
