Technical Summary

This draft examines considerations for benchmarking virtualized network
 functions (VNFs) and their supported infrastructure, with consideration 
for general-purpose hardware, and considers benchmarking both physical 
and virtual network functions in the same fashion, allowing for comparison 
between the two, where possible.

Working Group Summary

There has been a fair amount of work done on this draft, and progress 
made on revisions, feedback, and comments. Several presentations have 
been made in the room during IETF meetings, and followup and discussion 
taken to the BMWG list. This draft is particularly useful, given the popularity 
of VNF's within the industry.
