Terminology for Benchmarking Link-State IGP Data-Plane Route Convergence
RFC 6412, “Terminology for Benchmarking Link-State IGP Data-Plane Route Convergence”, is an Informational document published in November 2011 by S. Poretsky, B. Imhoff, K. Michielsen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the terminology for benchmarking link-state Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) route convergence. The terminology is to be used for benchmarking IGP convergence time through externally observable (black-box) data-plane measurements. The terminology 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.
What “Informational” means
