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.
