The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm) to consider the following document: - 'Loss Episode Metrics for IPPM' <draft-ietf-ippm-loss-episode-metrics-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-11-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The IETF has developed a one way packet loss metric that measures the loss rate on a Poisson probe stream between two hosts. However, the impact of packet loss on applications is in general sensitive not just to the average loss rate, but also to the way in which packet losses are distributed in loss episodes (i.e., maximal sets of consecutively lost probe packets). This draft defines one-way packet loss episode metrics, specifically the frequency and average duration of loss episodes, and a probing methodology under which the loss episode metrics are to be measured. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-loss-episode-metrics/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-loss-episode-metrics/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1354/
