RFC 6049: Spatial Composition of Metrics

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

This memo utilizes IP performance metrics that are applicable to both complete paths and sub-paths, and it defines relationships to compose a complete path metric from the sub-path metrics with some accuracy with regard to the actual metrics. This is called "spatial composition" in RFC 2330. The memo refers to the framework for metric composition, and provides background and motivation for combining metrics to derive others. The descriptions of several composed metrics and statistics follow. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
