Description of Working Group:
The IPPM WG will develop a set of standard metrics that can be applied to the quality, performance, and reliability of Internet data delivery services. These metrics will be designed such that they can be performed by network operators, end users, or independent testing groups. It is important that the metrics not represent a value judgement (i.e. define "good" and "bad"), but rather provide unbiased quantitative measures of performance.
Functions peripheral to Internet data delivery services, such as NOC/NIC services, are beyond the scope of this working group.
The IPPM WG will define specific metrics, cultivate technology for the accurate measurement and documentation of these metrics, and promote the sharing of effective tools and procedures for measuring these metrics. It will also offer a forum for sharing information about the implementation and application of these metrics, but actual implementations and applications are understood to be beyond the scope of this working group.
