Metrics work: sample measurements
by Paul Hoffman Aug. 8, 2019

Aug. 8, 2019

Greetings again. On the Metrics Work Party call earlier today, I said that I had been collecting measurements from a dozen VMs in data centers around the world. Here are the metrics from those results, in the format of the current document. Each day's report has v4/v6 and tcp/udp split out, and then combined. This will hopefully help the WP decide whether the thresholds will be for each of the four data points or over the four collected. On the technical side, each VM running the measurements is in a different Digital Ocean data center. In cities where there are multiple Digital Ocean presences, they are in physically separate data centers (not just different racks in the same data center). Those twelve are in NYC (x3), SFO (x2), AMS (x2), SIN, LON, FRA, TOR, and BLR. To be very clear, this is not at all meant to be a suggested eventual distribution, just a way for me to quickly get a sample world-wide setup. I also put just one day's worth in the document as a new appendix. Please let me know if you have any questions. --Paul Hoffman

by Wessels, Duane Aug. 8, 2019

Aug. 8, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus members, We will hold an RSS Metrics work party meeting tomorrow at 17:00 UTC. Here's brief agenda of topics that I would like to discuss. If you have anything to add please let myself or ICANN staff know at the start of the meeting. - Recap of decisions from previous meeting in Montreal - Document restructuring - new "Background & Scope" section - Probes & Vantage Points section - Examples moved to the end - Appendix of simulation results - Should published reports contain only pass/fail, or the metric's value (and precision)? - Report metrics separately for UDP/TCP/v4/v6? - Need recommendations for probe / vantage point - quantity - location - connectivity etc. - Need plan for coming up with thresholds (and rationale) DW

Project update: Resolver testbed
by Paul Hoffman Aug. 7, 2019

Aug. 7, 2019

Greetings again. I have updated the resolver testbed for the Resolver Behavior Work Party. The latest version is at: https://github.com/icann/resolver-testbed The major improvements are that the testbed not supports IPv6 for all parts, and new versions of resolver packages have beend added. If you installed an earlier version of the testbed, you'll probably need to start over for this one because it uses a newer version of Debian for the resolvers and gateway. Please let me know if you have any questions! --Paul Hoffman

RSS Metrics work party -- purpose of metrics
by Wessels, Duane July 25, 2019

July 25, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus, The RSS Metrics work party has been of two minds somewhat with the purpose of the proposed metrics. On one hand we want metrics that can be used to measure service levels. On the other, we want measurements that could be used to characterize end user experiences and for research into resolver behavior. The purpose of the metrics affects decisions, such as the location and operation of measurement vantage points. In order to make progress, the work party chairs and shepherds recommend that we limit the scope to metrics designed to measure service levels. If we can achieve consensus on this point, then the work party can advance to discussions and decisions about vantage point locations. Resolver behavior and other uses of metrics can be addressed in future revisions of this work or another work party if so desired. If there is any opposition to this proposal, please share your thoughts either on the list, or at the upcoming work party meeting on July 22 so we can discuss, reach consensus and ultimately make progress. Duane / Russ
