Qin, although you use the term “time-resolution” above, it does not appear in the LIME YANG models. The term in the models appears to be time-interval-type.

I sense that this might be confusing (based on Greg’s message) because what is actually being defined by time-interval-type is the unit of measurement (e.g., ns, ms, s). I realize that in a sense this is an interval, but it might be clearer if the type were called time-unit-type. If I’m understanding it properly, then the definition that Greg is pointing to in the TICTOC doc is for something different (i.e., an actual interval, always measured in nanoseconds).

But it’s also possible that I’m the one who is confused ...

You are right, one typical example of packet jitter is IPDV defined in RFC3393, but we don't want to limit it to IPDV, we also allow support other protocol and other measurement methodology,
