Hi Ike,

> +1, this work looks interesting.

[Libin:] Thank you very much for your feedback.

t form, though, as that section 7 feels a bit out of place the way it is ri=
ght now. Possible options could be to either broaden the scope of the doc t=

pply) or by branching out the doc into multiple ones (one general doc, then=

[Libin:] You raise a great point. Sec. 7 now tries to include passive/hybri=

and I need to spend some time to think about this. Hope we can keep in touc=

Hi,

I think this is useful work, applicable to many tools that would come out o=
f the new joint bpm WG. The question is where it fits - there or, presumabl=
y, the catchall opsawg.

The bpm charter is still bashable.  You can propose an edit to clarify the =
applicability of your work at https://github.com/ietf-ippm/wg-charter/blob/=
main/ippm-bmwg-joint.md.  The wg would need to agree that interpretation/tr=
oubleshooting informational/guidance documents are in scope.  If we=92re in=
cluding security / sensitivity perspectives, it could be.

Hi Ruediger,

Thank you very much for your feedback and for raising this question for dis=
cussion.

Given the close relationship between measurement results and their interpre=

and I hope to continue developing it within the WG. At the same time, I app=

 I am open to further input and review. Thanks.

Hi Libin,



thanks for your draft. The draft discusses the topic quite well, I think.



The question I have is addressed to the chairs and community: IPPM is chart=
ered to specify metrics and metric measurement metrics. Your draft regards =
result interpretation.

- interpreting results is the reason, why measurements are collected.

- is IPPM (or another IETF WG; if yes, which one) chartered for documentati=
on or standardization of doc=92s as your draft?



As my point isn=92t related to content and rather an organizational questio=
n, I appreciate feedback of others who may be interested in the subject (co=
ntent of your draft).



Regards,



Ruediger

Subject: [bmwg] New ID: Considerations for Interpreting Packet Loss Observe=
d by Active Performance Measurements



Dear All,

I would like to draw your attention to a new draft that has recently been s=
ubmitted: draft-liu-ippm-active-measurement-loss-considerations-00.

This document discusses considerations for interpreting packet loss observe=
d by active performance measurements. While measurement protocols and metri=
cs accurately report observable outcomes such as packet loss, missing respo=
nses, delay, and delay variation, these observations alone often do not rev=
eal the underlying operational cause. Similar measurement results may arise=
 from different conditions, including congestion, forwarding failures, rout=
ing changes, filtering policies, endpoint behavior, multipath forwarding, o=
r validation-related packet discard.

The document proposes a common interpretation framework that distinguishes =
measured outcomes from inferred causes. It discusses how different operatio=
nal conditions may affect the interpretation of packet loss, delay, and del=
ay variation in active performance measurements, including one-way and two-=
way measurements, OWAMP, TWAMP, STAMP, and measurements over ECMP and link =
aggregation. The document also discusses how additional operational context=
 may assist operators and measurement systems in reasoning about possible e=
xplanations for observed measurement results. The draft is available here: =
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-liu-ippm-active-loss-considerations/=
. The GitHub repository for the draft is also available here for issues, co=
mments, and pull requests: https://github.com/LibinLiu0189/draft-ippm-activ=
e-loss-considerations.

Comments, suggestions, and discussions would be greatly appreciated. I woul=
d also be interested to hear whether similar interpretation challenges have=
 been encountered in operational deployments or existing measurement system=
s, and whether there are additional scenarios that should be considered in =
the document.

Thank you very much.


Best,
Libin

>
>    Active performance measurement protocols and metrics are commonly
>    used to measure packet loss, delay, delay variation, reachability,
>    and path behavior.  When an active measurement packet is not
>    received, a response is missing, or a measurement exchange times out,
>    the measurement result identifies the observable outcome but often
>    does not identify the underlying cause.
>
>    Loss observed by active performance measurements can be associated
>    with congestion, queue discard, link or forwarding failures, routing
>    changes, endpoint or reflector behavior, administrative filtering,
>    policing, multipath effects, or validation-related packet discard
>    such as Source Address Validation (SAV).  Different operational
>    conditions can produce similar measurement observations, but they may
>    have different meanings and require different troubleshooting
>    actions.
>
>    This document discusses considerations for interpreting packet loss
>    observed by active performance measurements.  It provides a common
>    set of considerations for separating measured outcomes from inferred
>    causes, describes operational conditions that can lead to observed
>    loss, discusses implications for one-way and two-way measurements,
>    delay and delay variation interpretation, OWAMP, TWAMP, STAMP, and
>    measurements over ECMP and link aggregation.  It also discusses how
>    some considerations may apply to hybrid and passive performance
>    measurements and identifies sources of operational context that can
>    help operators and measurement systems reason about possible
>    explanations.

Given the close relationship between measurement results and their interpre=

and I hope to continue developing it within the WG. At the same time, I app=

<p style=3D"margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">=
The question I have is addressed to the chairs and community: IPPM is chart=
ered to specify metrics and metric measurement metrics. Your draft regards =
result interpretation.</p>
<p style=3D"margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">=
- interpreting results is the reason, why measurements are collected.</p>
<p style=3D"margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">=
- is IPPM (or another IETF WG; if yes, which one) chartered for documentati=
on or standardization of doc=92s as your draft?</p>

<span style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">Dear All,<br>
<br>
I would like to draw your attention to a new draft that has recently been s=
ubmitted: draft-liu-ippm-active-measurement-loss-considerations-00.<br>
<br>
This document discusses considerations for interpreting packet loss observe=
d by active performance measurements. While measurement protocols and metri=
cs accurately report observable outcomes such as packet loss, missing respo=
nses, delay, and delay variation,
 these observations alone often do not reveal the underlying operational ca=
use. Similar measurement results may arise from different conditions, inclu=
ding congestion, forwarding failures, routing changes, filtering policies, =
endpoint behavior, multipath forwarding,
 or validation-related packet discard.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
The document proposes a common interpretation framework that distinguishes =
measured outcomes from inferred causes. It discusses how different operatio=
nal conditions may affect the interpretation of packet loss, delay, and del=
ay variation in active performance
 measurements, including one-way and two-way measurements, OWAMP, TWAMP, ST=
AMP, and measurements over ECMP and link aggregation. The document also dis=
cusses how additional operational context may assist operators and measurem=
ent systems in reasoning about possible
 explanations for observed measurement results. The draft is available here=

&gt; Abstract:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Active performance measurement protocols and metrics=
 are commonly<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; used to measure packet loss, delay, delay variation,=
 reachability,<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and path behavior.&nbsp; When an active measurement =
packet is not<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; received, a response is missing, or a measurement ex=
change times out,<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the measurement result identifies the observable out=
come but often<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; does not identify the underlying cause.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Loss observed by active performance measurements can=
 be associated<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; with congestion, queue discard, link or forwarding f=
ailures, routing<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; changes, endpoint or reflector behavior, administrat=
ive filtering,<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; policing, multipath effects, or validation-related p=
acket discard<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; such as Source Address Validation (SAV).&nbsp; Diffe=
rent operational<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; conditions can produce similar measurement observati=
ons, but they may<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; have different meanings and require different troubl=
eshooting<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; actions.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This document discusses considerations for interpret=
ing packet loss<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; observed by active performance measurements.&nbsp; I=
t provides a common<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; set of considerations for separating measured outcom=
es from inferred<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; causes, describes operational conditions that can le=
ad to observed<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; loss, discusses implications for one-way and two-way=
 measurements,<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; delay and delay variation interpretation, OWAMP, TWA=
MP, STAMP, and<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; measurements over ECMP and link aggregation.&nbsp; I=
t also discusses how<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; some considerations may apply to hybrid and passive =
performance<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; measurements and identifies sources of operational c=
ontext that can<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; help operators and measurement systems reason about =
possible<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; explanations.<br>
