meterIP
meterIP is a proposed open standard and ecosystem for measuring internet protocol performance across distributed endpoints. It defines a common set of telemetry primitives that enable end-to-end and hop-by-hop measurements of IP networks, including latency, jitter, packet loss, and path characteristics. The goal of meterIP is to provide interoperable measurement data that can support network diagnosis, capacity planning, and research.
The concept emerged in the mid-2010s from researchers and industry groups seeking standardized measurement methods for
Architecture of meterIP centers on meters deployed at customer premises, data centers, or network edge devices.
Key features include support for IPv4 and IPv6, secure authentication and encryption, configurable measurement cadence, and
