A Reference Path and Measurement Points for
Large-Scale Measurement of Broadband Performance
Abstract
This document defines a reference path for Large-scale Measurement of
Broadband Access Performance (LMAP) and measurement points for
commonly used performance metrics. Other similar measurement
projects may also be able to use the extensions described here for
measurement point location. The purpose is to create an efficient
way to describe the location of the measurement point(s) used to
conduct a particular measurement.

RFC 7398 LMAP Reference Path February 2015
1. Introduction
This document defines a reference path for Large-scale Measurement of
Broadband Access Performance (LMAP) or similar measurement projects.
The series of IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) RFCs have developed terms
that are generally useful for path description (see Section 5 of
[RFC2330]). There are a limited number of additional terms defined
