The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Methodology for Benchmarking MPLS-TE Fast Reroute Protection' (draft-ietf-bmwg-protection-meth-14.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ronald Bonica and Benoit Claise. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-protection-meth/ Technical Summary Service providers and testing organizations need to benchmark the performance of network protection mechanisms. The BMWG took-up this work and defined a general terminology and set of benchmarks in RFC 6414. This memo describes the methodology for benchmarking MPLS Protection mechanisms for link and node protection. It provides test methodologies and test setups for measuring failover times while considering all dependencies that might impact the recovery of real-time applications carried in MPLS-based traffic engineered tunnels. The test procedures in this document cover local failure or remote failure scenarios for comprehensive benchmarking and to evaluate failover performance independent of the failure detection techniques. Working Group Summary This memo has been developed over a period of 8 years, beginning with the merger of two independent efforts, then narrowing of the scope to become a working group draft, followed by many reviews and WGLCs. The WG reached consensus on this memo years ago, but it was agreed to hold this draft until the IGP-Dataplane Benchmarking was completed. Another WGLC was held in December 2011, and there were no additional comments. Document Quality The reviews and suggestions of Jean Philip Vasseur, Curtis Villamizar, and Bhavani Parise are acknowledged. Personnel Al Morton is document shepherd.
