  1. IPv6 Benchmarking Methodology Ciprian Popoviciu, Ahmed Hamza, Gunter Van de Velde, Diego Dugatkin, Bill Kine IETF 66, March 21th 2006 Montreal, PQ draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt

  2. Agenda • Document Overview • Changes made based on WG feedback • Going forward draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt

  3. 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 methodology while indicating the aspects of RFC2544 that are IP version independent • Maintain the structure and spirit of RFC2544. draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt

  4. WG feedback integrated in the current version: • Refer to RFC1242 for terminology – no specific terminology required for this document • Removed Section 3 as it had minor differences with respect to RFC2544 • Re-write of Section 4 to reference the test setup described in RFC2544 • Re-write of Section 4.1. Refer to RFC2544 appendix for Ethernet frame sizes and added an appendix containing the frame sizes for SONET • Removed tunneling draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt

  5. WG feedback integrated in the current version (Cont): • Made an explicit request for IANA address space to be assigned for Benchmarking • Removed the recommendation to use IMIX • Made recommendations for benchmarking with IPv4 only, with IPv6 only and with a combination of the two traffic types • Removed the strict requirement for monitoring certain device resources however we maintained a recommendation on such a practice. draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt

  6. WG feedback integrated in the current version (Cont): • Hop-by-Hop EH – An optional test set for evaluating the impact of this EH on network element resources will be included • Benchmarking for each EH type individually – The only EH that requires individual evaluation is the Hop-by-Hop. Individual evaluation of the other EHs would provide no additional information to the data obtained from tests using chained EHs. draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt

  7. Interest in the document: • Other WGs are actively providing feedback and recommendations • We were approached by several organizations that expressed interest in applying these guidelines towards evaluating products as well as organizations interested in implementing it in their products. draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt

  8. IPv6 benchmarking guidelines are extremely important due to the increasing interest in IPv6 deployment throughout the industry Proposed Next Steps: • Adopt the document as a WG work item • Address future comments and suggestions draft-popoviciu-bmwg-ipv6benchmarking-01.txt
