RFC 5644: IP Performance Metrics (IPPM): Spatial and Multicast

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 6248. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The IETF has standardized IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) for measuring end-to-end performance between two points. This memo defines two new categories of metrics that extend the coverage to multiple measurement points. It defines spatial metrics for measuring the performance of segments of a source to destination path, and metrics for measuring the performance between a source and many destinations in multiparty communications (e.g., a multicast tree).
