One way:

RFC 2679   Delay
    2680   Packet loss
    3393   Delay Variation
    4737   Packet Reordering
    5560   Duplication

Two way:
    2681   Round trip Delay
    draft-ietf-ippm-rt-loss-04.txt  Loss

For other documents, see http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/ippm/

The IPPM group only defines the metrics, specifying recommended
values (that is, defining "good" or "bad") is outside its scope.
