Benchmarking Terminology for Protection Performance
RFC 6414, “Benchmarking Terminology for Protection Performance”, is an Informational document published in November 2011 by S. Poretsky, R. Papneja, J. Karthik, S. Vapiwala. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides common terminology and metrics for benchmarking the performance of sub-IP layer protection mechanisms. The performance benchmarks are measured at the IP layer; protection may be provided at the sub-IP layer. The benchmarks and terminology can be applied in methodology documents for different sub-IP layer protection mechanisms such as Automatic Protection Switching (APS), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Stateful High Availability (HA), and Multiprotocol Label Switching Fast Reroute (MPLS-FRR). This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
