Re: Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-cerveny-bmwg-ipv6-nd-02.txt

BMWG,

The topic of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery-related benchmarking has been 
discussed in the BMWG for almost a year, so we should determine whether
there is support to include this work in our future charter, and 
discuss how to describe the work item in our charter text.

So, please read the current draft and the short description of work
below, then provide comments/edits and indicate whether you support
the work item. Let's use our IETF session on Friday Nov 8 as the deadline.


regards,
Al

IPv6 Neighbor Discovery-related benchmarking

Large address space in IPv6 subnets presents several networking 
challenges, as described in RFC 6583. Indexes to describe the 
performance of network devices, such as the number of reachable
devices on a sub-network, are useful benchmarks to the operations
community. The working group will develop the necessary terminology
and methodologies to measure such benchmarks.
