"Benchmarking Methodology for Link-State IGP Data Plane Route Convergence", Scott Poretsky, Brent Imhoff, Intellectual Property, 15-Oct-08. ( bytes)

This document describes the methodology for benchmarking Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Route Convergence. The methodology is to be used for benchmarking IGP convergence time through externally observable (black box) data plane measurements. The methodology can be applied to any link-state IGP, such as ISIS and OSPF. Link-State IGP Data Plane Route Convergence

"Considerations for Benchmarking Link-State IGP Data Plane Route Convergence", Scott Poretsky, Intellectual Property, 15-Oct-08. ( bytes)

This document discusses considerations for benchmarking Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Route Convergence for any link-state IGP, such as Intermediate System-Intermediate System (ISIS) and Open-Shorted Path first (OSPF). A companion methodology document is to be used for benchmarking IGP convergence time through externally observable (black box) data plane measurements. A companion

"Benchmarking Terminology for Protection Performance", Scott Poretsky, 3-Nov-08. ( bytes)

This document provides common terminology and metrics for benchmarking the performance of sub-IP layer protection mechanisms. The performance benchmarks are measured at the IP-Layer, avoiding dependence on specific sub-IP protection mechanisms. The benchmarks and terminology can be applied in methodology documents for different sub-IP layer protection mechanisms such as Automatic Protection Switching (APS), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Stateful High Availability (HA), and Multi-Protocol Label Switching Fast Reroute (MPLS-FRR).

"Methodology for Benchmarking MPLS Protection Mechanisms", Rajiv Papneja, Samir Vapiwala, Jay Karthik, Scott Poretsky, Shankar Rao, Jean-Louis Roux, 3-Nov-08. ( bytes)

Protection Mechanisms This draft describes the methodology for benchmarking MPLS Protection mechanisms for link and node protection as defined in [MPLS-FRR-EXT]. This document provides test methodologies and test bed setup for measuring failover times while considering all dependencies that might impact faster recovery of real-time services bound to MPLS based traffic engineered tunnels. The terms used in the procedures included in this document are defined in [TERM-ID].

"MPLS Forwarding Benchmarking Methodology", Aamer Akhter, Rajiv Asati, 3-Nov-08. ( bytes)

This document describes a methodology specific to the benchmarking of MPLS forwarding devices, limited to various types of packet- forwarding and delay measurements. It builds upon the tenets set forth in RFC2544 [RFC2544], RFC1242 [RFC1242] and other IETF Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) efforts. This document seeks to extend these efforts to the MPLS paradigm.
