I think this is a variation on the issue that Alissa calls out, but I'm having
a hard time reconciling:

   It's unlikely that the virtual switch will be the only application
   running on the System Under Test (SUT), so CPU utilization, Cache
   utilization, and Memory footprint should also be recorded for the
   virtual implementations of internetworking functions.

...with...

   Further, benchmarking is performed on a "black-box" basis, relying
   solely on measurements observable external to the DUT/SUT.

Please add text that clarifies how the metrics that 3.1 says should be recorded
in section 3.1 relate to benchmarking.
