Hello IPPM members,

I just posted a new version of the TCP Throughput testing methodology, which may be found under:

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-constantine-ippm-tcp-throughput-tm-01.txt

A group of IPPM members spent a good deal of time on this effort and we look forward to review and feedback from other IPPM members.

In summary, this methodology is intended to enable network providers to conduct TCP throughput measurements using a standard test flow.  Conducting RFC2544 is the precursor to this test flow.

We studied much TCP work that had been done by the IPPM over the years and have attempted to define a test method to verify the maximum achievable TCP throughput that an network provider could expect in a managed network.

Look to forward to comments and suggestions.

Thanks,
Barry
