RFC 7982: Measurement of Round-Trip Time and Fractional Loss Using Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
A host with multiple interfaces needs to choose the best interface for communication. Oftentimes, this decision is based on a static configuration and does not consider the path characteristics, which may affect the user experience. This document describes a mechanism for an endpoint to measure the path characteristics fractional loss and RTT using Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) messages.
