A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Reorder Density Function - Metric for packet reordering measurement Author(s) : A. Jayasumana, N. Piratla, A. Bare, T. Banka Filename : draft-jayasumana-reorder-density-00.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2003-2-11 Out of order arrival of packets can degrade the performance of many TCP-based, VoIP-based and Video-based applications significantly. There is a need for a metric that can meaningfully, accurately and unambiguously characterize reordering. This memo proposes a new metric called Reorder Density function (RD), which can give an in-depth view of the reordering present in any packet sequence. This well-defined metric can also be used to evaluate effects of protocol and hardware implementations on packet reordering. The memo also provides an algorithm to compute the reorder density function followed by some illustrative examples.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-jayasumana-reorder-density-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-jayasumana-reorder-density-00.txt". 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 Internet-Draft.
