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.
This document is a product of the IP Performance Measurement Working Group of
the IETF.
