Methodology for Benchmarking MPLS Traffic Engineered Fast Reroute Protection
RFC 6894, “Methodology for Benchmarking MPLS Traffic Engineered Fast Reroute Protection”, is an Informational document published in March 2013 by R. Papneja, S. Vapiwala, J. Karthik, S. Poretsky, S. Rao, JL. Le Roux. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the methodology for benchmarking MPLS Fast Reroute (FRR) protection mechanisms for link and node protection. This document provides test methodologies and testbed setup for measuring failover times of Fast Reroute techniques while considering factors (such as underlying links) that might impact recovery times for real-time applications bound to MPLS Traffic Engineered (MPLS-TE) tunnels.
