Benchmarking Methodology WG (bmwg)

MONDAY, March 17 at 1530-1730
===============================

CHAIRS: Kevin Dubray <[email protected]>
       Al Morton <[email protected]>


AGENDA:


1.  Discussion on OSPF Convergence Benchmarking WG Last
   Call comments. Last call is over, but consensus on
   outstanding issues isn't clear.  Identification of outstanding
   issues.  (R. White et al.)


   BMWG mail archive:
   http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/working-groups/bmwg/current/



2.  "Considerations in Benchmarking Routing Protocol Network
   Convergence." Is the BMWG the right home for this I-D?
   (R. White)

3. IPsec Device Benchmarking Terminology I-D. Introduction and
  current issues. (M. Bustos)
    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-ipsec-term-00.txt



4. Benchmarking Network-layer Traffic Control Mechanisms
  Attempt.  Communicate latest changes & test progress of
  current WG Last Call. (J. Perser et al.)

5. Terminology for Benchmark Core Router Software Accelerated
   Life Testing.  Version 00 of this draft seemed to present
   more functional testing than benchmarks - I-D fit to BMWG was
   questioned.  This draft presumes better WG fit; did the principals
   succeed? (S. Poretsky).

6. IGP Data plane convergence benchmark I-Ds. Regarding "convergence"
  benchmarking, the WG had restricted scoping of initial
  convergence benchmarks to the control plane.  However, I-Ds below
  were offered as a replacement to the OSPF convergence I-Ds. Should
  they replace the OSPF convergence IDs?  If not, is it time for
  the BMWG to consider explicit data plane convergence?  If yes,
  what is the IGP drafts' relationship to the OSPF convergence
  I-Ds? Replacement on companion? (K. Dubray)


  See BMWG mail archive of OSPF convergence benchmark I-Ds'
  Last Call.
