Re: [bmwg] New Version for draft Methodology for VNF Benchmarking Automation

[Raphael Vicente Rosa <[e-mail]>]

Hi Al,

Good to be back!
Sorry for being inactive for a while, tough times we are living in, but the
interest in the draft keeps alive.

Thanks for asking, the main draft updates are:

1. The introduction states a clear/better motivation for the draft;
2. In considerations, we clearly state what are the "Phases of a
Benchmarking Test" subject to automation;
3. The methodology depicts the need of YANG modules, explains them, and
presents the procedures that define the flow of information involved in
utilizing the YANG models to realize the methodology for VNF benchmarking
automation;
4. The methodology explains the composition of a VNF benchmarking report,
its inputs and outputs, by the means of automation and utilizing the draft
considerations (e.g., components of the proposed architectural framework);
5. YANG modules were added to the draft (not sure if it is correct, help
needed there);
6. Some of the sections/subsections titles were changed for clarity;
7. The reference implementation realizes all the methodology (getting some
results to present).

It was a major refactor in the draft content, giving more maturity to it
while clarifying its core concepts and proposal.
