Hello All, I was not able to attend the Maastricht session, but listened to the audio stream and jabbered. There was also some very good comments made through some emails right afterward. The summary of revisions present in the version -05 are: - Clearly defined the configurable TCP and network parameters that are the core target of this methodology - Bi-directional (in addition to uni-directional) testing is discussed - Specified how multiple retransmitted bytes are to be computed in the TCP Efficiency metric - Discussed the implications of using dedicated test equipment versus standard computers to compute the TCP Efficiency metric (detecting retransmissions) - Added the concept of a normalized TCP Transfer Time ratio (Actual / Ideal) - Expanded upon the relationship of TCP Transfer Time and TCP Efficiency - Generalized the Layer 2/3 "pre-test" techniques to satisfy concerns of the reference to RFC2544 Thanks, Barry -----Original Message----- From: ippm-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:ippm-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 1:15 PM To: i-d-announce@ietf.org Cc: ippm@ietf.org Subject: [ippm] I-D Action:draft-ietf-ippm-tcp-throughput-tm-05.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF. Title : TCP Throughput Testing Methodology Author(s) : B. Constantine, et al. Filename : draft-ietf-ippm-tcp-throughput-tm-05.txt Pages : 20 Date : 2010-08-13 This memo describes a methodology for measuring sustained TCP throughput performance in an end-to-end managed network environment. This memo is intended to provide a practical approach to help users validate the TCP layer performance of a managed network, which should provide a better indication of end-user application level experience. In the methodology, various TCP and network parameters are identified that should be tested as part of the network verification at the TCP layer.
