In this section, we detail several motivations for the Performance In this section, we detail several motivations for the Performance

4.1. Interoperability 4.1. Interoperability
As any IETF registry, the primary use for a registry is to manage a As any IETF registry, the primary use for a registry is to manage a
namespace for its use within one or more protocols. In the namespace for its use within one or more protocols. In the
particular case of the Performance Metric Registry, there are two particular case of the Performance Metrics Registry, there are two
types of protocols that will use the Performance Metrics in the types of protocols that will use the Performance Metrics in the
Performance Metrics Registry during their operation (by referring to Performance Metrics Registry during their operation (by referring to
the Index values): the Index values):
o Control protocol: this type of protocols is used to allow one o Control protocol: this type of protocols is used to allow one
entity to request another entity to perform a measurement using a entity to request another entity to perform a measurement using a
specific metric defined by the Performance Metrics Registry. One specific metric defined by the Performance Metrics Registry. One
particular example is the LMAP framework [RFC7594]. Using the particular example is the LMAP framework [RFC7594]. Using the
LMAP terminology, the Performance Metrics Registry is used in the LMAP terminology, the Performance Metrics Registry is used in the
LMAP Control protocol to allow a Controller to request a LMAP Control protocol to allow a Controller to request a
measurement task to one or more Measurement Agents. In order to measurement task to one or more Measurement Agents. In order to
enable this use case, the entries of the Performance Metric enable this use case, the entries of the Performance Metrics
Registry must be well enough defined to allow a Measurement Agent Registry must be well enough defined to allow a Measurement Agent
implementation to trigger a specific measurement task upon the implementation to trigger a specific measurement task upon the
reception of a control protocol message. This requirement heavily reception of a control protocol message. This requirement heavily

o Report protocol: This type of protocols is used to allow an entity o Report protocol: This type of protocols is used to allow an entity
to report measurement results to another entity. By referencing to report measurement results to another entity. By referencing

Using the LMAP terminology, the Performance Metrics Registry is Using the LMAP terminology, the Performance Metrics Registry is

It should be noted that the LMAP framework explicitly allows for It should be noted that the LMAP framework explicitly allows for

Because the LMAP protocol will use the Performance Metrics Registry Because the LMAP protocol will use the Performance Metrics Registry
