Abstract:
   This memo describes the contributions of the Open Platform for NFV
   (OPNFV) project on virtual switch performance "VSPERF", particularly
   in the areas of test set-ups and configuration parameters for the
   system under test.  This project has extended the current and
   completed work of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group in IETF,
   and references existing literature.  The Benchmarking Methodology
   Working Group has traditionally conducted laboratory characterization
   of dedicated physical implementations of internetworking functions.
   Therefore, this memo describes the additional considerations when
   virtual switches are implemented in general-purpose hardware.  The
   expanded tests and benchmarks are also influenced by the OPNFV
   mission to support virtualization of the "telco" infrastructure.
