Title : Benchmarking Methodology for MPLS Protection
Mechanisms
Author(s) : S. Poretsky et al.
Filename : draft-poretsky-mpls-protection-meth-00.txt

This draft describes the methodology for benchmarking MPLS
protection mechanisms. An overview of existing MPLS Protection
terminology and functionality is provided as as background for the
methodology. The methodology can be applied to any MPLS Protection
mechanism such as Headend Reroute, Standby LSP, Fast Reroute Detour
Mode, and Fast Reroute Bypass Mode. The data plane is measured to
obtain the benchmarking metrics. Discussion is included to explain
the differences between MPLS Protection mechanisms, the network
events that cause failover, and the benefits of measuring the data
plane for black-box MPLS Protection benchmarking. Measurements can
be used to compare failover performance of different Label-Switched
Routers and evaluate the different MPLS protection mechanisms.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
