Abstract:

   This document defines an optional extension to the Simple Two-Way
   Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) that enables a Session-Reflector
   to send asymmetrical packets, that is, response packets whose size or
   quantity differs from those sent by the Session-Sender.  While
   standard STAMP exchanges are symmetrical, certain measurement
   scenarios benefit from reflected packets of different lengths or
   additional responses to better approximate application traffic
   conditions.  The extension specifies the Reflected Test Packet
   Control TLV and associated procedures, analyzes challenges in active
   performance measurement (including in multicast environments), and
   describes STAMP behaviors to improve measurement efficiency and
   reduce network impact.
