The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm) to consider the following document: - 'IPPM standard advancement testing' <draft-ietf-ippm-metrictest-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 2011-10-24. 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 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 state of the art statistical methods. The goal is an evaluation of the metric RFC itself, whether its definitions are clear and unambiguous to implementors and therefore a candidate for advancement on the IETF standards track. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-metrictest/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-metrictest/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
