A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IPPM Metrics for Measuring Connectivity
	Author(s)	: J. Mahdavi, V. Paxson
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ippm-connectivity-02.txt
	Pages		: 10

   Connectivity is the basic stuff from  which  the  Internet  is  made.
   Therefore,  metrics determining whether pairs of hosts (IP addresses)
   can reach each other must form the base of a measurement  suite.   We
   define  several  such metrics, some of which serve mainly as building
   blocks for the others.
 
   This memo defines a series of metrics for connectivity between a pair
   of  Internet hosts.  It builds on notions introduced and discussed in
   RFC 2330, the IPPM framework document.  The reader is assumed  to  be
   familiar with that document.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
