Hi Jari, Martin, With respect to a description of how the measurements are obtained, the document does state that this is out of scope (from the abstract):
Note that this document only covers the mechanisms by which network performance information is distributed. The mechanisms for measuring network performance information or using that information, once distributed, are outside the scope of this document. This topic did generate quite a bit of discussion in the various WGs where delay/loss TE measurements are being discussed. It almost seems like an informational document describing one way to deploy this would be in order. Thanks, Acee On 1/7/15, 6:51 AM, "Jari Arkko" <[email protected]> wrote: >Thanks for your review.
