Abstract:

   RFC 2544 has defined a benchmarking methodology for network
   interconnect devices.  RFC 5180 addressed IPv6 specificities and it
   also provided a technology update but excluded IPv6 transition
   technologies.  RFC 8219 addressed IPv6 transition technologies,
   including stateful NAT64.  However, none of them discussed how to
   apply RFC 4814 pseudorandom port numbers to any stateful NATxy
   (NAT44, NAT64, NAT66) technologies.  This document discusses why
   using pseudorandom port numbers with stateful NATxy gateways is a
   difficult problem.  It recommends a solution limiting the port number
   ranges and using two test phases (phase 1 and phase 2).  It is shown
   how the classic performance measurement procedures (e.g. throughput,
   frame loss rate, latency, etc.) can be carried out.  New performance
   metrics and measurement procedures are also defined for measuring
   maximum connection establishment rate, connection tear-down rate, and
   connection tracking table capacity.
