This document provides a terminology to be used when performing
performance test and benchmarking of wireless LAN (WLAN) switches and
controllers, including systems comprising groups of controllers and
Access Points.  The various wireless-specific device nomenclature, as
well as the definitions of configuration parameters and test
conditions that may be used to characterize the performance of these
devices, are provided.  The document also defines some of the metrics
used during WLAN switch benchmarking.  This terminology is to be used
in conjunction with the companion methodology document.

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
