	Title		: A Proposed Media Delivery Index

This memo defines a Media Delivery Index (MDI) measurement which can 
   be used as a diagnostic tool or a quality indicator for monitoring a 
   network intended to transport streaming media such as MPEG video or 
   other arrival time and packet loss sensitive information.  It 
   provides an indication of traffic jitter, a measure of deviation from 
   nominal flow rates, and data loss at-a-glance.  For instance, the MDI 
   may be used as a reference in characterizing and comparing networks 
   carrying constant bit rate streaming media. Included is a set of 
   managed objects for SNMP-based management of IP media streams for 
   which an MDI measurement is obtained.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
