RE: [bmwg] Is the BMWG a proper home for this I-D?ch

Okay, the outline of the current network benchmarking considerations draft 
is:

-- Definitions, various definitions possible for each term, and how they 
might be used differently in different contexts. This is important in 
something of this type, since it would help to unify a lot of the issues we 
have over these sorts of definitions within the WG.

-- Various Techniques for Measuring Convergence. This includes a section on 
polling, and passing traffic through a network to measure convergence. Good 
topics, could probably be expanded.

Any other suggestions? What would you add?

Again, thoughts are welcome--what does anyone else in the WG think? Should 
we start a BP doc for testing network convergence? What are other areas we 
should include? I think it's an excellent idea, it would broaden the 
usefulness of the output of the WG tremendously.

So far:

Russ: in favor
Jim: ??, but appears to be in favor
Scott: ??, but appears to not be in favor
