Summary: This document is ready for publication as an Informational RFC.
It is a very readable document.
Major issues:
Minor issues:
The text says several times that the cache size of the DUT MUST be
known in order to set up the tests described in the document. I can
understand why that is so. But do typical routers actually document
that in the user's manual? Historically, manuals for routers would say
that there is X much memory, used for A, B, and C. Which doesn't quite
meet the needs. (I will be quite happy if this has changed for the
better since I was thoroughly reviewing such manuals.)
