+# Root Server Scaling Measurement (RSSM) plugin
+
+This plugin collects data as described by the [RSSAC002v3 specification](https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-002-measurements-root-06jun16-en.pdf)
+which has been created by [ICANN Root Server System Advisory Committee](https://www.icann.org/groups/rssac) (RSSAC).
+
+## Additions
+
+As the RSSAC002v3 specification states that measurements should be saved per
+24 hours interval, this plugin produces additional metrics that can be used
+to compile the 24 hours measurements allowing for variable time between
+output generation.
+
+Metric `dnscap-rssm-sources` has a hash entry called `sources` which lists
+IP addresses and the number of times they appeared.
+
+Metric `dnscap-rssm-aggregated-sources` has a hash entry called `aggregated-sources`
+which lists the aggregated IPv6 addresses by a /64 net and the number of times
+it has appeared.
+
+## Merge Tool
+
+The Perl script `dnscap-rssm-rssac002` is included and installed with `dnscap`
+and can be used to multiple combine RSSM plugin RSSAC002v3 YAML output files
+into one file.
+
+The script will merge and remove metric specific to this plugin and replace
+others to fill in correct values for the new time period. The earliest
+`start-period` found will be used for all metrics.
+
+**NOTE** no parsing of `start-period` is performed, it is up to the operator
+to only give input files related to the same 24 hour period.
+
+Options:
+- `--no-recompile`: Disabled the combining of metrics and the removal of
+  metrics specific to this plugin
+- `--keep-dnscap-rssm`: Do the combining but keep the metrics specific to
+  this plugin
+- `--sort`: Output will always start with `version:`, `service:`,
+  `start-period:` and `metric:`, rest of the values are not ordered by label.
+  This option enabled sorting of them, which is not required by the
+  specification but may help in debugging and testing cases.
