The IESG has received a request from the Benchmarking Methodology WG (bmwg) to consider the following document: - 'Terminology for Benchmarking SDN Controller Performance' <draft-ietf-bmwg-sdn-controller-benchmark-term-07.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 2018-02-02. 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 This document defines terminology for benchmarking an SDN controller's control plane performance. It extends the terminology already defined in RFC 7426 for the purpose of benchmarking SDN controllers. The terms provided in this document help to benchmark SDN controller's performance independent of the controller's supported protocols and/or network services. A mechanism for benchmarking the performance of SDN controllers is defined in the companion methodology document. These two documents provide a standard mechanism to measure and evaluate the performance of various controller implementations. [ Note that this document is closely related to draft-ietf-bmwg-sdn-controller-benchmark-meth. It might be worth reading them together!] The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-sdn-controller-benchmark-term/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-sdn-controller-benchmark-term/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
