A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5180 Title: IPv6 Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices Author: C. Popoviciu, A. Hamza, G. Van de Velde, D. Dugatkin Status: Informational Date: May 2008 Mailbox: cpopovic@cisco.com, ahamza@cisco.com, gunter@cisco.com, diego@fastsoft.com Pages: 20 Characters: 41712 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-bmwg-ipv6-meth-05.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5180.txt The benchmarking methodologies defined in RFC 2544 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 RFC 2544, 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. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This document is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
