Hi All,

We have submitted a new draft.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mizrahi-ippm-multiplexed-alternate-marking/

Short summary:
The alternate marking method of draft-ietf-ippm-alt-mark can be used for (nearly) passive measurement of loss and delay. This method requires data packets to carry a field that marks (colors) the traffic, and enables passive measurement of packet loss, delay, and delay variation.  Existing marking methods offer a tradeoff: the marking field can be two-bits long, allowing accurate loss and delay measurement, or it can be one-bit long at the expense of the delay measurement accuracy. The current memo introduces a marking method that uses a single marking bit and allows accurate loss and delay measurement.

Comments will be appreciated.

Regards,
Tal Mizrahi.
