Technical Summary

The IETF has completed its work on TWAMP - the Two-Way Active
Measurement Protocol. This memo describes a simple extension to
TWAMP, the option to use different security modes in the TWAMP-
Control and TWAMP-Test protocols.

Working Group Summary

This document was discussed at various IETF meetings in 2008. There
was no controversy in the WG process. Consensus was smooth.

Document Quality

At least 3 vendors are implementing TWAMP.

Personnel

The document shepherd is Henk Uijterwaal (henk@ripe.net).
Lars Eggert (lars.eggert@nokia.com) reviewed the ID for the IESG.

RFC Editor Note

RFC Editor's Note:

Title:
OLD
More features for TWAMP
NEW
Mixed Security Mode for TWAMP


5.  Security Considerations
OLD
   The extended mixed-mode of operation permits stronger security/
   integrity protection on the TWAMP-Control protocol while
   simultaneously emphasizing accuracy or efficiency on the TWAMP-Test
   protocol, thus making it possible to increase overall security when
   compared to the previous options.

NEW
   The extended mixed-mode of operation permits stronger security/
   integrity protection on the TWAMP-Control protocol while
   simultaneously emphasizing accuracy or efficiency on the TWAMP-Test
   protocol, thus making it possible to increase overall security when
   compared to the previous options (when resource constraints would
   have forced less security for TWAMP-Control and unauthenticated
   TWAMP-Test is not a significant concern).
