URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6201.txt
An operational forwarding device may need to be restarted
(automatically or manually) for a variety of reasons, an event
called a "reset" in this document. Since there may be an
interruption in the forwarding operation during a reset, it is
useful to know how long a device takes to resume the forwarding
operation.
This document specifies a methodology for characterizing reset (and
reset time) during benchmarking of forwarding devices and provides
clarity and consistency in reset test procedures beyond what is
specified in RFC 2544. Therefore, it updates RFC 2544. This document
also defines the benchmarking term "reset time" and, only in this,
updates RFC 1242. This document is not an Internet Standards Track
specification; it is published for informational purposes.
This document is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF.
INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
