The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Metrics WG (ippm)
to consider the following document:
- 'Round-trip Loss Metrics'
  <draft-ietf-ippm-rt-loss-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 2012-03-19. 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


   Many user applications (and the transport protocols that make them
   possible) require two-way communications.  To assess this capability,
   and to achieve test system simplicity, round-trip loss measurements
   are frequently conducted in practice.  The Two-Way Active Measurement
   Protocol specified in RFC 5357 establishes a round-trip loss
   measurement capability for the Internet.  However, there is currently
   no metric specified according to the RFC 2330 framework.

   This memo adds round-trip loss to the set of IP Performance Metrics
   (IPPM).

There is a normative down-ref to RFC 2330, which has been used in this
way by the IPPM working group before, and is present in the IESG's
down-ref registry.
