1. Summary
The document shepherd is Brian Trammell. The responsible Area Director is

The document defines a plan for testing implementations of RFC 2680 on one-way
packet loss metrics, based upon the requirements set out in RFC 2680 itself, in
order to evaluate ambiguity in RFC 2680 that may lead to interoperability
problems. It also reports on the results of these tests with two independent
implementation, and recommends the revision of RFC 2680 based on ambiguities
found herein, with subsequent advancement of RFC 2680bis to Internet Standard.
2. Review and Consensus
The document has clear working group consensus for publication, and has been
reviewed by several WG participants since its initial adoption as a working
group item.
3. Intellectual Property
There are no IPR disclosures related to this document, and the shepherd is
satisfied there is no undisclosed IPR on this document.
4. Other Points
RFC 2680bis already exists as an individual draft waiting for WG adoption; this
draft was not adopted during the March 2013 rechartering of the WG, as current
work on the RFC 2330 update and the IPPM performance metrics registry design
team may impact the content of a future 2680bis. However, this draft has been
complete for some time and is ready for publication.
