DETAILED DESCRIPTION In this document we describe mechanisms that can be used to collect performance information regarding a set of flows and re-route these flows appropriately. The flows may be between points within a single administrative domain or at least one of the end points may be in some other domain. The mechanisms described here assume that it is desirable to observe the performance characteristics of the various paths over which it is possible to route the flows. This can occur in the case of organizations making use of network fabric they do not directly control; this includes the exchange of information with a remote end point across the Internet, or the exchange of information between end points belonging to a single organization over fabric owned and operated by a different organization (a Service Provider, or SP). These examples do not limit the application of the invention.
v=μ*v+(1−μ)*|d−m| where v is the exponentially moving average of jitter, |d−m| is the last sample of jitter, and μ is the weight of the average.
v=μ*v+(1−μ)*|m−m′| Where v is the exponentially moving average of jitter, |m−m′| is the last sample of jitter, m is the last delay sample, m is the previous delay sample, and μ is the weight of the average.
