The IESG has received a request from the Benchmarking Methodology WG (bmwg) to consider the following document: - 'Traffic Management Benchmarking' <draft-ietf-bmwg-traffic-management-04.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-04-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This framework describes a practical methodology for benchmarking the traffic management capabilities of networking devices (i.e. policing, shaping, etc.). The goal is to provide a repeatable test method that objectively compares performance of the device's traffic management capabilities and to specify the means to benchmark traffic management with representative application traffic. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-traffic-management/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-traffic-management/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
