I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-term-01.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Terminology for Benchmarking IGP Data Plane Route 
			  Convergence
	Author(s)	: S. Poretsky
	Filename	: draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-term-01.txt
	Pages		: 13
	Date		: 2003-10-14
	
This draft describes the terminology for benchmarking IGP Route 
Convergence.  The motivation and applicability for this 
benchmarking is provided in [1].  The methodology to be used for 
this benchmarking is described in [2].  The methodology and 
terminology to be used for benchmarking route convergence can be 
applied to any link-state IGP such as ISIS [3] and OSPF [4].  The 
data plane is measured to obtain the convergence benchmarking metrics.  
The purpose of this document is to introduce new terms required to 
complete execution of the IGP Route Convergence Methodology [2].

I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-meth-01.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Benchmarking Methodology for IGP Data Plane Route 
			  Convergence
	Author(s)	: S. Poretsky, B. Imhoff
	Filename	: draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-meth-01.txt
	Pages		: 14
	Date		: 2003-10-14
	
This draft describes the methodology for benchmarking IGP Route 
Convergence.  The applicability of this testing is described in 
[1] and the new terminology that it introduces is defined in [2].
Service Providers use IGP Convergence time as a key metric of 
router design and architecture.  Customers of Service Providers 
observe convergence time by packet loss.  IGP Route Convergence 
is a Direct Measure of Quality (DMOQ) when benchmarking the data 
plane and not the control plane.  The test cases in this document 
are black-box tests that emulate the network events that cause 
route convergence, as described in [1].  Black-box test design 
accounts for all of the factors for route convergence time, as
provided in [1].  The methodology and terminology is to be used 
for benchmarking route convergence and can be applied to any
link-state IGP such as ISIS [3] and OSPF [4].

This terminology document provides the terms to be used for 
benchmarking a router or switch under Accelerated Stress conditions.
Terminology is provided for performing this benchmark using
the Contol Plane, Data Plane, Management Plane, and Security 
Plane of the Device Under Test.  Terms are defined for 
Configuration, Startup Conditions, Instability Conditions, Failure
Conditions, and Benchmarks.

Meeting Minutes Review: IPsec Terminology

To address the issues raised at the last meeting regarding the IPsec Term
draft.

>The current draft defined IMIX (Internet Mix for traffic synthesis),
>but did not include the reference that Michele Bustos provided on the list.
>There was a comment suggesting that this is a good definition to include,
>with the caveat that no one mix of packet sizes represents Internet usage.

We eliminated the NLARR reference from the draft for several reasons.
The reference never actually refers to IMIX, and they never suggest any
frame 
sizes or traffic patterns.

If anyone can provide a reference for IMIX specifically, we would be happy
to investigate it.

	Title		: Framework for Accelerated Stress Benchmarking
	Author(s)	: S. Poretsky, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-bmwg-acc-bench-framework-00.txt
	Pages		: 7
	Date		: 2003-10-23
	
This document provides a framework for executing the Accelerated
   Stress Benchmarking.  It is intended that this framework be applied
   with the Terminology document when using the Methodology document.
   Discussion to specify and apply Startup Conditions, Configuration 
   Sets, and Instability Conditions is provided with examples.  The 
   motivation and benefits of stress testing are also discussed.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Terminology for Benchmarking IPsec Devices
	Author(s)	: M. Bustos
	Filename	: draft-ietf-bmwg-ipsec-term-02.txt
	Pages		: 56
	Date		: 2003-10-24
	
This purpose of this document is to define terminology specific to 
measuring the performance of IPsec devices.  It builds upon the 
tenets set forth in RFC 1242, RFC 2544, RFC 2285 and other IETF 
Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) documents used for 
benchmarking routers and switches.  This document seeks to extend 
these efforts specific to the IPsec paradigm.  The BMWG produces 
two major classes of documents: Benchmarking Terminology documents 
and Benchmarking Methodology documents. The Terminology documents 
present the benchmarks and other related terms. The Methodology 
documents define the procedures required to collect the benchmarks 
cited in the corresponding Terminology documents.
