Considerations When Using Basic OSPF Convergence Benchmarks
RFC 4063, “Considerations When Using Basic OSPF Convergence Benchmarks”, is an Informational document published in April 2005 by V. Manral, R. White, A. Shaikh. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document discusses the applicability of various tests for measuring single router control plane convergence, specifically in regard to the Open Shortest First (OSPF) protocol. There are two general sections in this document, the first discusses advantages and limitations of specific OSPF convergence tests, and the second discusses more general pitfalls to be considered when routing protocol convergence is tested. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
