Title : Benchmarking Methodology for MPLS Protection Mechanisms
Author(s) : S. Poretsky, et al.
Filename : draft-poretsky-mpls-protection-meth-05.txt
Pages : 21

This draft describes the methodology for benchmarking MPLS
protection mechanisms using the terminology defined in [TERMID].
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
mechanisms such as Standby LSP, Fast Reroute Detour Mode, and Fast
Reroute Bypass Mode. The methodology can also be used to benchmark
LSP rerouting due to a Headend Reroute. 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.
