A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. BCP 176 RFC 6576 Title: IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Standard Advancement Testing Author: R. Geib, Ed., A. Morton, R. Fardid, A. Steinmitz Status: Best Current Practice Stream: IETF Date: March 2012 Mailbox: Ruediger.Geib@telekom.de, acmorton@att.com, rfardid@cariden.com, Alexander.Steinmitz@telekom.de Pages: 37 Characters: 84447 See Also: BCP0176 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ippm-metrictest-05.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6576.txt This document specifies tests to determine if multiple independent instantiations of a performance-metric RFC have implemented the specifications in the same way. This is the performance-metric equivalent of interoperability, required to advance RFCs along the Standards Track. Results from different implementations of metric RFCs will be collected under the same underlying network conditions and compared using statistical methods. The goal is an evaluation of the metric RFC itself to determine whether its definitions are clear and unambiguous to implementors and therefore a candidate for advancement on the IETF Standards Track. This document is an Internet Best Current Practice. This document is a product of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF. BCP: This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
