BGP is widely deployed and used by several service providers as the
default inter-AS (Autonomous System) routing protocol.  It is of
utmost importance to ensure that when a BGP peer or a downstream link
of a BGP peer fails, the alternate paths are rapidly used and routes
via these alternate paths are installed.  This document provides the
basic BGP benchmarking methodology using existing BGP convergence
terminology as defined in RFC 4098.

This document is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF.
