A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF. Title : Terminology for Benchmarking Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Networking Devices Author(s) : Carol Davids Vijay K. Gurbani Scott Poretsky Filename : draft-ietf-bmwg-sip-bench-term-08.txt Pages : 38 Date : 2013-01-08 Abstract: This document provides a terminology for benchmarking the SIP performance of networking devices. The term performance in this context means the capacity of the device- or system-under-test to process SIP messages. Terms are included for test components, test setup parameters, and performance benchmark metrics for black-box benchmarking of SIP networking devices. The performance benchmark metrics are obtained for the SIP signaling plane only. The terms are intended for use in a companion methodology document for characterizing the performance of a SIP networking device under a variety of conditions. The intent of the two documents is to enable a comparison of the capacity of SIP networking devices. Test setup parameters and a methodology document are necessary because SIP allows a wide range of configuration and operational conditions that can influence performance benchmark measurements. A standard terminology and methodology will ensure that benchmarks have consistent definition and were obtained following the same procedures.
