>> If this method is to be used on a router, one is advised to make sure that the ICMP packets experience the same forwarding and discarding courses as the service traffic (of which the packet loss rate is to be measured) does, otherwise the measurement will not make sense.
I wouldn’t quite agree with this. The reason it is done so today is to prevent ping flood type of DDoS attacks.

The document is based on operational experience and needs especially when doing performance monitoring on the interconnecting link between two providers' networks. We also hope we can find after the discussion a measurement scheme that is convenient enough and provides consistent results. Any comment would be appreciated. Thank you!
