The IESG has approved the following document: - 'UDP Speed Test Protocol for One-way IP Capacity Metric Measurement' (draft-ietf-ippm-capacity-protocol-25.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IP Performance Measurement Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mahesh Jethanandani and Mohamed Boucadair. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-capacity-protocol/ Technical Summary This document addresses the problem of protocol support for measuring Network Capacity metrics specified by RFC 9097 (Metrics and Methods for One-Way IP Capacity). The Method of Measurement discussed there requires a feedback channel from the receiver to control the sender's transmission rate in near-real-time. This document defines the UDP Speed Test Protocol (UDPSTP) enabling the measurement of Network Capacity metrics. Working Group Summary This document received thorough reviews from several members of the IPPM WG during the last call, and otherwise had broad support/agreement in meetings where people agreed it was ready to progress. There were no particular controversies. It went through a fair bit of design with SECDIR reviews early on, but that was a positive process. Document Quality The document benefited from reviews from various areas/directorate. Early secdir reviews was sought early in the process to ensure that the protocol foundations are solid. Many thanks to Brian Weis for the various reviews and suggestions. Also, the specification was backed with a well-documented implementation that can be found at: https://github.com/BroadbandForum/obudpst. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Tommy Pauly. The Responsible Area Director is Mohamed Boucadair.
