A New 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 : Terminology for Benchmarking Network-layer Traffic Control Mechanisms Author(s) : J. Perser, D. Newman et al. Filename : draft-ietf-bmwg-dsmterm-06.txt Pages : 34 Date : 2003-5-2 This document describes terminology for the benchmarking of devices that implement traffic control based on IP precedence or diff-serv code point criteria. New terminology is needed because most existing measurements assume the absence of congestion and only a single per-hop- behavior. This document introduces several new terms that will allow measurements to be taken during periods of congestion. Another key difference from existing terminology is the definition of measurements as observed on egress as well as ingress of a device/system under test. Again, the existence of congestion requires the addition of egress measurements as well as those taken on ingress; without observing traffic leaving a device/system it is not possible to say whether traffic-control mechanisms effectively dealt with congestion. The principal measurements introduced in this document are vectors for rate, delay, and jitter, all of which can be observed with or without congestion of the DUT/SUT. This document describes only those terms relevant to measuring behavior of a device or a group of devices using one of these two mechanisms. End-to-end and service-level measurements are beyond the scope of this document.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-dsmterm-06.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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.
