Benchmarking Methodology for Link-State IGP Data-Plane Route Convergence

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Informational
Pages: 42
Abstract: This document describes the methodology for benchmarking Link-State Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Route Convergence. The methodology is to be used for benchmarking IGP convergence time through externally observable (black-box) data-plane measurements. The methodology can be applied to any link-state IGP, such as IS-IS and OSPF. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
