RFC 4148 and the IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Registry of Metrics Are Obsolete

RFC 4148和IP性能度量(IPPM)度量注册表已过时

Abstract

摘要

This memo reclassifies RFC 4148, "IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Metrics Registry", as Obsolete, and withdraws the IANA IPPM Metrics Registry itself from use because it is obsolete. The current registry structure has been found to be insufficiently detailed to uniquely identify IPPM metrics. Despite apparent efforts to find current or even future users, no one responded to the call for interest in the RFC 4148 registry during the second half of 2010.

本备忘录将RFC 4148“IP性能度量(IPPM)度量注册表”重新分类为已过时,并撤销IANA IPPM度量注册表本身,因为它已过时。目前的注册表结构不够详细,无法唯一识别IPPM指标。尽管在寻找当前用户甚至未来用户方面做出了明显的努力,但在2010年下半年,没有人响应对RFC4148注册中心感兴趣的呼吁。

1. Introduction
1. 介绍

The IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) framework [RFC2330] describes several ways to record options and metric parameter settings, in order to account for sources of measurement variability. For example, Section 13 of [RFC2330] describes the notion of "Type P" so that metrics can be specified in general, but the specifics (such as payload length in octets and protocol type) can replace P to disambiguate the results.

IP性能度量(IPPM)框架[RFC2330]描述了记录选项和度量参数设置的几种方法,以说明度量可变性的来源。例如,[RFC2330]的第13节描述了“类型P”的概念,因此通常可以指定度量,但具体情况(如八位字节的有效负载长度和协议类型)可以替换P以消除结果的歧义。

When the IPPM Metrics Registry [RFC4148] was designed, the variability of the "Type P" notion, and the variability possible with the many metric parameters (see Section 4.2 of [RFC2679]), were not fully appreciated. Further, some of the early metric definitions only indicate Poisson streams [RFC2330] (see the metrics in [RFC2679], [RFC2680], and [RFC3393]), but later work standardized the methods for Periodic Stream measurements [RFC3432], adding to the variability possible when characterizing a metric exactly.

在设计IPPM度量注册表[RFC4148]时,“P型”概念的可变性,以及许多度量参数可能存在的可变性(见[RFC2679]第4.2节),并未得到充分理解。此外,一些早期的度量定义仅表示泊松流[RFC2330](参见[RFC2679]、[RFC2680]和[RFC3393]中的度量),但后来的工作标准化了周期流测量方法[RFC3432],增加了准确描述度量时可能出现的可变性。

It is not believed to be feasible or even useful to register every possible combination of Type P, metric parameters, and Stream parameters using the current structure of the IPPM Metrics Registry.

使用IPPM Metrics Registry的当前结构注册类型P、度量参数和流参数的所有可能组合被认为是不可行的,甚至是没有用处的。

   The IPPM Metrics Registry is believed to have very few users, if any.
   Evidence of this was provided by the fact that one registry entry was
   syntactically incorrect for months after [RFC5644] was published.
   The text ":=" was used for the metrics in that document instead of
   "::=".  It took eight months before someone offered that a parser
   found the error.  Even the original registry author agrees that the
   current registry is not efficient, and has submitted a proposal to
   effectively create a new registry.

Despite apparent efforts to find current or even future users, no one responded to the call for interest in the RFC 4148 registry during the second half of 2010. Therefore, the IETF now declares the registry Obsolete without any further reservations.

尽管在寻找当前用户甚至未来用户方面做出了明显的努力,但在2010年下半年,没有人响应对RFC4148注册中心感兴趣的呼吁。因此,IETF现在宣布注册表已过时,没有任何进一步的保留。

When a registry is designated Obsolete, it simply prevents the IANA from registering new objects, in this case new metrics. So, even if a registry user was eventually found, they could continue to use the current registry, and its contents will continue to be available.

当注册表被指定为过时时,它只会阻止IANA注册新对象,在本例中是新指标。因此,即使最终找到了注册表用户,他们也可以继续使用当前注册表,其内容将继续可用。

The most recently published memo that added metrics to the registry is [RFC6049]. This memo updates all previous memos that registered new metrics, including [RFC4737] and [RFC5560], so that the registry's Obsolete status will be evident.

最近发布的向注册表添加指标的备忘录是[RFC6049]。此备忘录更新了所有以前注册了新指标的备忘录,包括[RFC4737]和[RFC5560],因此注册表的过时状态将显而易见。

2. Action to Reclassify RFC 4148 and the Corresponding IANA Registry as Obsolete

2. 将RFC 4148和相应的IANA注册表重新分类为过时的措施

Due to the ambiguities between the current metrics registrations and the metrics used, and the apparent minimal adoption of the registry in practice, it is required that:

由于当前指标注册和使用的指标之间存在歧义,并且在实践中明显很少采用注册,因此要求:

o the IETF reclassify [RFC4148] as Obsolete.

o IETF将[RFC4148]重新分类为已过时。

o the IANA withdraw the current IPPM Metrics Registry from further updates and note that it too is Obsolete.

o IANA从进一步更新中撤销当前IPPM度量注册表,并注意它也已过时。

It is assumed that parties who wish to establish a replacement registry function will work to specify such a registry.

假定希望建立替代登记册职能的缔约方将努力指定这种登记册。

3. Security Considerations
3. 安全考虑

This memo and its recommendations have no known impact on the security of the Internet (especially if there is a zombie apocalypse on the day it is published; humans will have many more security issues to worry about stemming from the rise of the un-dead).

这份备忘录及其建议对互联网的安全没有任何已知的影响(特别是如果在它发布的那天有一个僵尸启示录的话;由于联合国的崛起,人类将有更多的安全问题需要担心)。

4. IANA Considerations
4. IANA考虑

Metrics defined in the IETF have been typically registered in the IANA IPPM Metrics Registry as described in the initial version of the registry [RFC4148]. However, areas for improvement of this registry have been identified, and the registry structure has to be revisited when there is working group consensus to do so.

IETF中定义的度量通常已在IANA IPPM度量注册表中注册,如注册表初始版本[RFC4148]中所述。然而,已经确定了该登记册有待改进的领域,在工作组达成一致意见后,必须重新审查登记册的结构。

The current consensus is to designate the IPPM Metrics Registry, originally described in [RFC4148], as Obsolete.

目前的共识是将[RFC4148]中最初描述的IPPM度量注册表指定为过时。

The DESCRIPTION of the registry MIB has been modified as follows, and the first two sentences should be included on any IANA-maintained web page describing this registry or its contents:

注册表MIB的描述已修改如下,前两句话应包含在任何IANA维护的描述该注册表或其内容的网页上:

DESCRIPTION

描述

"With the approval and publication of RFC 6248, this module is designated Obsolete.

“随着RFC 6248的批准和发布,此模块被指定为已过时。

The registry will no longer be updated, and the current contents will be maintained as-is on the day that RFC 6248 was published.

注册表将不再更新,当前内容将保持RFC 6248发布当天的状态。

The original Description text follows below:

原文如下:

This module defines a registry for IP Performance Metrics.

此模块定义IP性能指标的注册表。

... "
