[Bier] BIER: draft-eckert-bier-cgm2-rbs-01 with performance analysis simulation

[[e-mail]]

Dear BIER-TE WG:

Robin did add a section (6.3) describing an initial performance gain analysis
of CGM2/RBS to the github source (https://github.com/toerless/bier-cgm2-rbs), and
i just did a bit of editorial fixup and posted it as -01 of the draft. 

This actually is the first time i actually like the HTML'ized version of a
draft, because the topology picture is so large it doesn't fit a single page:

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-eckert-bier-cgm2-rbs-01.html

The interesting piece about the comparison is that it is actually comparing
CGM2/RBS to BIER, and not BIER-TE. Because BIER itself should be requiring less
copies than BIER-TE, so the gain of CGM2/RBS over BIER-TE should be even higher,
but the fact alone that you get away with fewer packet copies to large
receiver sets even though the bitstring also needs to encode the path/tree
towards the receivers is really cool.

Robin, two Q:

1. The new text mentions "in our graphs", but the text does not include any such graphs (yet).
I guess such a graph would be even worse to convert to ASCII than the topology.
Maybe post whatever format you have those results in to github (PDF, png...) 
and then we actually may want to see if/how a PDF version of the draft could include
better than just ASCII art. Certainly a good reason to finally try it out.
And short term we can just add references to such visuals to the draft.

2; Is it correct to assume that the hops through the topology that you simulated
are "just" shortest-path, maybe with some ECMP choice - aka: the same paths that
also BIER would choose given some "default" IGP routing setup ?

Cheers
