Title : Network performance measurement for periodic streams
Author(s) : V. Raisanen, G. Grotefeld
Filename : draft-ietf-ippm-npmps-01.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 04-May-00
This document describes some of the issues associated with
application-level measurements of network performance for periodic
streams. An example application would be the testing of Dst-Src routes
for use as bearer for multimedia streams. In this document,
the reader is assumed to be familiar with the terminology of the
Framework for IP Performance Metrics RFC 2330 [1]. This document is
parallel to A One-way Delay Metric for IPPM RFC 2679[2]. A sample
metric is described that is suitable for application-level measurement
for streaming multimedia over IP. Using such a measurement,
transmission service of a network is probed with a traffic stream
similar to that of the application of interest, which is likely to be
very dissimilar to the Poisson inter-arrival interval described in [2].

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
