Network Performance Measurement
From Alissa's email proposal:
Although network performance measurement has been a topic of research,
standardization, and development for decades, recent efforts to create
national, regional, and global access network measurement testbeds and
frameworks are drawing renewed interest. These efforts seek to provide
consistent measurements of fine-grained performance metrics such as
packet loss, delay, and throughput, as well as higher order tests to
capture quality of experience with respect to specific applications and
services. Some standardized metrics and tests exist, including those
developed in the IPPM WG, but a unified framework for observing and
reporting the quality metrics that define users’ experiences across
different networks has yet to be developed. This plenary will explore
the approaches, results, and challenges involved with existing
performance measurement efforts from around the world with an eye
towards understanding the potential role for standardization broadly and
IETF/IRTF activity specifically.
