The IESG has received a request from the IP Performance Measurement WG (ippm) to consider the following document: - 'IPv6, IPv4 and Coexistence Updates for IPPM's Active Metric Framework' <draft-ietf-ippm-2330-ipv6-04.txt> as Informational RFC
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 i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-04-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This memo updates the IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Framework RFC 2330 with new considerations for measurement methodology and testing. It updates the definition of standard-formed packets in RFC 2330 to include IPv6 packets, deprecates the definition of minimum standard- formed packet, and augments distinguishing aspects of packets, referred to as Type-P for test packets in RFC 2330. This memo identifies that IPv4-IPv6 co-existence can challenge measurements within the scope of the IPPM Framework. Exemplary use cases include, but are not limited to IPv4-IPv6 translation, NAT, protocol encapsulation, IPv6 header compression, or use of IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Area Networks (6LoWPAN). The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-2330-ipv6/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-2330-ipv6/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
