This draft provides the methodology for benchmarking the failover time
of local protection (aka Fast Reroute). The failover to a backup tunnel
could happen at the headend of the primary tunnel or a midpoint and the
backup could offer link or node protection. It becomes vital to
benchmark the failover time for all the cases and combinations. The
failover time could also greatly differ based on the design and
implementation and by factors like the number of prefixes carried by the
tunnel, the number of primary tunnels affected by the event that caused
the failover, number of primary tunnels the backup protects and type of
failure etc. All the required benchmarking criteria and benchmarking
topology required for measuring failover time of local protection is
described Conventions used in this document

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
