19 TWAMP Commands
The Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) is defined by RFC 5357.
TWAMP is an open protocol for measuring network performance between any two
devices that support the TWAMP protocol.
TWAMP uses the methodology and architecture of OWAMP (One-Way Active
Measurement Protocol, RFC 4656), which defines an open protocol for the
measurement of one-way metrics, but extends it to two-way, or round-trip, metrics.
TWAMP consists of two protocols; a control protocol and a test session protocol.
When starting a performance measurement session, the TWAMP control protocol is
used to initiate and set up the test session. The TWAMP test protocol then uses UDP
for sending and receiving the test packets for performance measurement.

packet responses.
