Title

Open Broadband STAMP (OB-STAMP)


Type of project
  • New project
  • Extension of existing project(s)



Project description

Introduction: OB-STAMP (Open Broadband - Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol) aims to create an open-source implementation of a STAMP Sender and Reflector, fully compatible with RFC 8762 and its associated extensions, to be installed on a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The application must run as a containerized application within the CPE following the User Services Platforms (USP) paradigms.
The purpose is to develop a component outlined in the TR-390.2 document, thus facilitating the capacity to perform performance measurement between the customer's equipment and the IP Edge.

The (soon-to-be) TR-390.2 Amendment 1 document also describes the feasibility of using the STAMP protocol to take the performance measurements in the subscriber home network.

Project scope/phases

Initial release: STAMP Reflector (TR-390.2) integrated with the TR-181 management.
OutSys will provide the initial base code

Subsequent releases to implement additional features:

  • STAMP Sender (soon-to-be TR-390.2 Amendment 1)
  • Others



Business need(s) and opportunitiesBy utilizing the measurements conducted within the IP Edge - CPE segment, there is potential to harness the opportunities outlined in the MR-452.x and TR-452.x documents, thereby enhancing the quality of service provided to subscribers.

Related project dependencies from and proposed interactions with other SDOs/industry forums. Do any of these organizations (or members of ) need to be direct contributors inside the project?

There are no dependencies at this time. Work in IETF may lead to future enhancements of the code.


Other special considerations: for non-members, IPP, timing, etc.

None at this time.
