The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPv6 Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices ' <draft-ietf-bmwg-ipv6-meth-05.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ron Bonica and Dan Romascanu. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-ipv6-meth-05.txt Technical Summary The Benchmarking Methodologies defined in RFC2544 [8] are IP version independent. However, RFC 2544 does not address some of the specificities of IPv6. This document provides additional benchmarking guidelines, which in conjunction with RFC2544, lead to a more complete and realistic evaluation of the IPv6 performance of network interconnect devices. IPv6 transition mechanisms are outside the scope of this document. Working Group Summary The Working Group consensus behind this document is very strong. The document benefits from extensive comments provided by many WG members during three WG Last Calls. Comment resolutions have been tracked and may be reviewed here: http://home.comcast.net/~acmacm/BMWG/IPv6-meth-comment-resolution.pdf http://home.comcast.net/~acmacm/BMWG/IPv6-Meth-Last-Call-resolution2.pdf Scott Bradner, Bill Cerveny, and Rajiv Asati completed the BMWG review template (see http://home.comcast.net/~acmacm/BMWG/LastCallTemplate.txt ). David Newman and Dan Romascanu (as a participant) also provided comments and participated in discussions. The third WG Last call was relatively silent with only two minor comments that were easily resolved. Document Quality At least one test equipment vendor has already implemented this specification. Personnel Al Morton is the Document Shepherd.
