Basic BGP Convergence Benchmarking Methodology for Data-Plane Convergence
RFC 7747, “Basic BGP Convergence Benchmarking Methodology for Data-Plane Convergence”, is an Informational document published in April 2016 by R. Papneja, B. Parise, S. Hares, D. Lee, I. Varlashkin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
BGP is widely deployed and used by several service providers as the default inter-AS (Autonomous System) routing protocol. It is of utmost importance to ensure that when a BGP peer or a downstream link of a BGP peer fails, the alternate paths are rapidly used and routes via these alternate paths are installed. This document provides the basic BGP benchmarking methodology using existing BGP convergence terminology as defined in RFC 4098.
