Abstract:
The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) and the Two-Way
Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) are used for performance
monitoring in IP networks. Delay measurement is performed in these
protocols by using timestamped test packets. Some implementations use
hardware-based timestamping engines that integrate the accurate
transmission timestamp into every outgoing OWAMP/TWAMP test packet
during transmission. Since these packets are transported over UDP,
the UDP checksum field is then updated to reflect this modification.
This document proposes to use the last 2 octets of every test packet
as a Checksum Trailer, allowing timestamping engines to reflect the
checksum modification in the last 2 octets rather than in the UDP
checksum field. The behavior defined in this document is completely
interoperable with existing OWAMP/TWAMP implementations.
