Abstract

Many user applications (and the transport protocols that make thempossible) require two-way communications. To assess this capability,and to achieve test system simplicity, round-trip loss measurementsare frequently conducted in practice. The Two-Way Active MeasurementProtocol specified in RFC 5357 establishes a round-trip lossmeasurement capability for the Internet. However, there is currentlyno round-trip packet loss metric specified according to the RFC 2330framework.

This memo adds round-trip loss to the set of IP Performance Metrics(IPPM). [STANDARDS-TRACK]
