OWAMP is a command line client application and a policy daemon used
|
||
|
|
to determine one way latencies between hosts. It is an implementation
|
||
|
|
of the OWAMP protocol as defined by
|
||
|
|
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4656.txt. (When referring to the
|
||
|
|
protocol within this document, "OWAMP" will be in italicized. In
|
||
|
|
all other instances, "OWAMP" will be referring to this implementation.)

With roundtrip-based measurements, it is hard to isolate the direction
|
||
|
|
in which congestion is experienced. One-way measurements solve this
|
||
|
|
problem and make the direction of congestion immediately apparent.
|
||
|
|
Since traffic can be asymmetric at many sites that are primarily
|
||
|
|
producers or consumers of data, this allows for more informative
|
||
|
|
measurements. One-way measurements allow the user to better isolate
|
||
|
|
the effects of specific parts of a network on the treatment of
|
||
|
|
traffic.
