Dear BMWG Members, My name is Marius Georgescu and I am a graduate student at Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Japan. My main research focus is IPv6 transition technologies benchmarking. Recently I have been working on an Internet draft which can be found here: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-georgescu-ipv6-transition-tech-benchmarking-00. txt I hope to present the draft in the next BMWG meeting, in IETF91. In the meantime, here is the summary of the draft. The draft is complementary to the recommendations of RFC2544 and RFC5180, focusing on IPv6 transition technologies benchmarking. It includes a tentative classification of transition technologies and proposes associated test setups. It also proposes a method to acknowledge the frame size overhead and how it should be considered when calculating the maximum theoretical frame rates, in order to avoid exceeding the bandwidth of the employed media. The draft also includes a tentative benchmark for scalability in the context of network devices. Scalability is seen as the ability of network devices to accommodate network growth. As network growth can produce performance degradation, quantifying this degradation can offer insights on the scalability of a certain network devices. The network growth can be generated by the tester by creating multiple network flows. After measuring the performance in the context of multiple flows, the performance degradation can be expressed as relative change between the multiple flow results and the single flow results. As the draft is very close to the scope of the BMWG, I was hoping it can become a BMWG draft at some point. Any comments and suggestion are welcome. Thank you very much.
