The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) measures
unidirectional characteristics such as one-way delay and one-way
loss.  High-precision measurement of these one-way IP performance
metrics became possible with wider availability of good time
sources (such as GPS and CDMA).  OWAMP enables the interoperability
of these measurements.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
