IPv6 Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices
RFC 5180, “IPv6 Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices”, is an Informational document published in May 2008 by C. Popoviciu, A. Hamza, G. Van de Velde, D. Dugatkin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The benchmarking methodologies defined in RFC 2544 are IP version independent. However, RFC 2544 does not address some of the specificities of IPv6. This document provides additional benchmarking guidelines, which in conjunction with RFC 2544, lead to a more complete and realistic evaluation of the IPv6 performance of network interconnect devices. IPv6 transition mechanisms are outside the scope of this document. 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.
