“A document providing guidance in the area of IPv6
benchmarking would be welcome to organizations (including the
US federal agencies mandated to deploy IPv6 on their backbone
networks) attempting to understand why and how network device
IPv6 performance must be tested. A document that attempts to
define which areas need to considered and which describes how
to test/benchmark these areas may be well received.” Bill Cerveny
Proposed Next Steps:

Address future comments and suggestions on Revision -02 Rev -03



ID Nits changes (add reference to RFC2119 and few other edits)
Thank you Bill Cerveny for the detailed review of -02
Ready for WG Last Call ?

Document Goals:
 Address a very acute and growing need for
recommendations on evaluating network element
performance for IPv6 deployments
 A complement rather than a replacement of
RFC2544 in accordance with BMWG strategy
 Provide the additional, IPv6 specific guidelines to
IP benchmarking while indicating the aspects of
RFC2544 that are IP version independent
 Maintain the structure and spirit of RFC2544.
