Re: Test traffic - traffic types?

[Alexander Tudor <]

Hi Max,

Thank you for your note!

Some of the issues surrounding TTM measurements are:

- effort/commitment
- membership support and/or community contribution
- technical feasibility and evidence that measurement methodology is 
sound for the purpose and preferably is standardized

They assume that deployed measurements are part of the membership 
supported TTM infrastructure.

However, if one is a service provider and considers deploying TTM nodes 
as part of the network management solution
of their own network, that is another story altogether. There has been 
recent discussion, within the TTM WG, about this
very issue and I think it would be interesting to take it up again at 
RIPE 51.

You may also want to take a look at the minutes of RIPE 50 which touch 
on consumer measured network
performance.

Regards,

Alex
