A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Performance Metrics Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: A Packet Loss Metric for IPPM
	Author(s)	: G. Almes, S. Kalidindi
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ippm-loss-01.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 21-Nov-97
	
This memo defines a metric for packet loss across Internet paths.  It
   builds on notions introduced and discussed in the IPPM Framework doc-
   ument (currently ''Framework for IP Performance Metrics''  <draft-ietf-
   ippm-framework-01.txt>);  the  reader  is assumed to be familiar with
   that document.
 
   This memo is intended to be very parallel in structure to a companion
   document  for  One-way  Delay  (currently ''A One-way Delay Metric for
   IPPM'' <draft-ietf-ippm-delay-01.txt>); the reader is  assumed  to  be
   familiar with that document.

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
