A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Benchmarking Methodology
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Benchmarking Terminology for LAN Switching Devices
Author(s) : B. Mandeville
Filename : draft-ietf-bmwg-lanswitch-02.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 01/28/1997
The purpose of this draft is to define and discuss benchmarking terminology
for local area switching devices. It is meant to extend the terminology
already defined for network interconnect devices in RFCs 1242 and 1944 by
the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) of the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and prepare the way for a discussion on
benchmarking methodology for local area switches.
LAN switches are one of the principal sources of new bandwidth in the
local area. The multiplicity of products brought to market makes it
desirable to define a set of terms to be used when evaluating the
performance characteristics of local area switching devices. Well-defined
terminology will help in providing the user community with complete,
reliable and comparable data on LAN switches.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-lanswitch-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
