The Two-Way Active Management Protocol (TWAMP) is an extension of the (OWAMP) that supplies two-way or round-trip measurements instead of unidirectional capabilities. Two-way measurements are helpful because round-trip delays do not require host clock synchronization and remote support might be a simple echo function.
