Benchmarking Methodology for In-Service Software Upgrade
RFC 7654, “Benchmarking Methodology for In-Service Software Upgrade”, is an Informational document published in October 2015 by S. Banks, F. Calabria, G. Czirjak, R. Machat. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Modern forwarding devices attempt to minimize any control- and data-plane disruptions while performing planned software changes by implementing a technique commonly known as In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU). This document specifies a set of common methodologies and procedures designed to characterize the overall behavior of a Device Under Test (DUT), subject to an ISSU event.
