RFC 6374: Packet Loss and Delay Measurement for MPLS Networks

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7214. Read both.

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

Many service provider service level agreements (SLAs) depend on the ability to measure and monitor performance metrics for packet loss and one-way and two-way delay, as well as related metrics such as delay variation and channel throughput. This measurement capability also provides operators with greater visibility into the performance characteristics of their networks, thereby facilitating planning, troubleshooting, and network performance evaluation. This document specifies protocol mechanisms to enable the efficient and accurate measurement of these performance metrics in MPLS networks. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
