An IPv4 and IPv6 measurement option (MO) for hybrid flow measurements.

This document introduces an internet protocol (IP) measurement option (MO) that contains information, normally not available to the receiver of IP packets, to perform hybrid network measurements. In particular, measurements that need a sender time stamp and a packet order number are then possible directly at the receiver. The information contained in the IP MO can also be used by hosts en-route to perform slightly more limited hybrid network measurements.
