Re: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-bmwg-benchres-06

Folks,

The last call for this I-D is drawing to an end and not a lot of
input has been offered.  Ever.

The principals have demonstrated consistent effort and
patience in trying to advance this work in the absence of
commentary.

Please do your part and offer commentary as to whether
this draft has the quality to advance to RFC status.

Thanks,
Al/Kevin

I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-term-08.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)	: B. Imhoff, S. Poretsky
	Filename	: draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-term-08.txt
	Pages		: 15
	Date		: 2005-10-7
	
This draft describes the terminology for benchmarking IGP Route 
   Convergence as described in Applicability document [1] and 
   Methodology document [2].  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].  The data plane 
   is measured to obtain the convergence benchmarking metrics 
   described in [2].

I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-bmwg-hash-stuffing-04.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		: Hash and Stuffing: Overlooked Factors in Network Device Benchmarking
	Author(s)	: D. Newman, T. Player
	Filename	: draft-ietf-bmwg-hash-stuffing-04.txt
	Pages		: 23
	Date		: 2005-10-10
	
Test engineers take pains to declare all factors that affect a given
   measurement, including offered load, packet length, test duration,
   and traffic orientation.  However, current benchmarking practice
   overlooks two factors that have a profound impact on test results.
   First, existing methodologies do not require the reporting of
   addresses or other test traffic contents, even though these fields
   can affect test results.  Second, "stuff" bits and bytes inserted in
   test traffic by some link-layer technologies add significant and
   variable overhead, which in turn affects test results.  This document
   describes the effects of these factors; recommends guidelines for
   test traffic contents; and offers formulas for determining the
   probability of bit- and byte-stuffing in test traffic.

hash-stuffing 04 change log

hash-stuffing 04 has two changes, both minor.

1. The ID never explicitly stated that Ethernet test traffic should use
random rather than static addresses. It does now, in section 4.2:

"Test traffic SHOULD use pseudorandom patterns in Ethernet addresses."

2. Also in section 4.2, we added a recommendation that port number IDs be
1-indexed rather than 0-indexed to avoid the small but nonzero probability
of producing an all-0s MAC address.

Since we've received no outside input since draft 02, we urge that draft 04
be moved to WGLC.

RE: Re-Submittal of draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-meth-08.tx t

Fellow BMWG-ers,

The IGP Data Plane Convergence drafts have been updated to address the NITs
list and seemingly the final comment (from Timmons).  The issues listed
below were all addressed in the -08 revision.  The chairpersons are going
soon open the Last Call.  Please let us know if you have any further
comments, or equally important at this stage is confirmation that you have
read the document and approve it going forward to the IESG.

Thanks!
Scott

BMWG Last Call: draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-***-08

BMWG:

A WG Last Call period for the Internet-Drafts titled:

Benchmarking Methodology for IGP Data Plane Route Convergence
http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-meth-08.txt

Terminology for Benchmarking IGP Data Plane Route Convergence
http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-term-08.txt

Benchmarking Applicability for IGP Data Plane Route Convergence
http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-app-08.txt

will be open from  12 Oct 2005 through 26 Oct 2005.

These three drafts entered the BMWG Last Call Process
on May 10, 2004 at version 02, and have been revised
substantially to reflect the comments received.

******************************************************
* We are asking that previous reviewers please check *
* that their comments have been addressed.           *
******************************************************

Please weigh-in on whether or not you feel that these Internet-Drafts
should be given to the Area Directors for consideration in
progressing the Drafts to Informational RFCs.  Send your comments
to this list or acmorton <at> att.com and kdubray <at> juniper.net

When is "Net Traffic Control Benchmarking Methodology" Internet Draft due to be published?

Dear BM WG, 

is there any estimate date of publication of Net Traffic Control
Benchmarking Methodology "00" Internet Draft?

Thanks
