Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP)

RFC 8762, Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) standardizes and expands upon the TWAMP Light operational mode, which was defined in Appendix I of RFC 5357, Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP), to measure network performance between any two devices in a network. A STAMP-compliant reflector ensures symmetric payload size (in accordance with RFC 6038) and operates in either stateless or stateful mode, depending on whether the sequence number in the reflected payload is copied from the client frame or generated independently. A stateful reflector can detect in which direction drops have occurred.
