MPLS Forwarding Benchmarking Methodology for IP Flows
RFC 5695, “MPLS Forwarding Benchmarking Methodology for IP Flows”, is an Informational document published in November 2009 by A. Akhter, R. Asati, C. Pignataro. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a methodology specific to the benchmarking of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) forwarding devices, limited to the most common MPLS packet forwarding scenarios and delay measurements for each, considering IP flows. It builds upon the tenets set forth in RFC 2544, RFC 1242, and other IETF Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) efforts. This document seeks to extend these efforts to the MPLS paradigm. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
What “Informational” means
