The IESG has received a request from the Benchmarking Methodology WG (bmwg) to consider the following document: - 'Data Center Benchmarking Terminology' <draft-ietf-bmwg-dcbench-terminology-09.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-06-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The purpose of this informational document is to establish definitions and describe measurement techniques for data center benchmarking, as well as it is to introduce new terminologies applicable to data center performance evaluations. The purpose of this document is not to define the test methodology, but rather establish the important concepts for benchmarking network switches and routers in the data center. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-dcbench-terminology/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-dcbench-terminology/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
