Benchmarking Methodology WG (bmwg)

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

CHAIRS: Kevin Dubray <kdubray@juniper.net>
        Al Morton <acmorton@att.com>


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.
