Abstract

Techniques are described for performing subscriber aware two-way active measurement protocol (TWAMP) data session provisioning between two endpoints in a computer network. For example, the disclosed techniques include extending TWAMP control messaging to include a communication mode for negotiating subscriber-aware TWAMP data monitoring. If the communication mode is supported by both endpoints, a subscriber identifier is specified when a TWAMP data session is provisioned (negotiated) over the control session. The disclosed techniques further include extending TWAMP data messaging to include the subscriber identifier in each test packet for the data session. In this way, each of the endpoints may identify a subscriber corresponding to one or more received TWAMP test packets based on the subscriber identifier included in the received TWAMP test packets.
