NETWORK LAYER TRAFFIC CONTROL
MECHANISMS (WGLC)
•
Co-authors are Scott Poretsky of Reef Point, Jerry Perser, Shobha Erramilli of Qnetworx, and
Sumit Khurana of Telcordia
•
draft-ietf-bmwg-dsmterm-11.txt, Terminology for Benchmarking
Network Layer Traffic Control Mechanisms
– WGLC was successfully completed for this document
– Final action item was to resolve I-D Nits. This was completed in
the –11 submission.
– Ready for IESG?
•

IGP DATA PLANE ROUTE CONVERGENCE (WG
Last Call)
•
Co-authors are Scott Poretsky of Reef Point and Brent Imhoff
•
3 documents completed WGLC
1. draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-app-07.txt, Considerations for Benchmarking
IGP Data Plane Route Convergence
2. draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-term-07.txt, Terminology for Benchmarking
IGP Data Plane Route Convergence
3. draft-ietf-bmwg-igp-dataplane-conv-meth-07.txt, Benchmarking Methodology for
IGP Data Plane Route Convergence
•
2 more changes required:
1. LC review identified inconsistency in Methodology and Terminology
•
•
-07 Methodology uses "throughput" and refers to RFCs 1242 and 2544.
–07 Terminology uses "forwarding rate" and makes no reference to RFC.
Action is to keep the Methodology as-is and in the –08 Terminology replace
occurrences for "forwarding rate" with "throughput" and reference RFCs
1242 and 2544.
2. Need to resolve I-D Nits
•
Given these two changes, Ready for IESG?

ACCELERATED STRESS (BMWG Work Item)
•
Co-authors are Scott Poretsky of Reef Point and Shankar Rao of Qwest
•
draft-ietf-bmwg-acc-bench-term-06.txt, Terminology for Accelerated Stress
Benchmarking
– Ready for WGLC?
At recommendation of BWMG co-chairs, Methodology divided into
separate documents:
– draft-ietf-bmwg-acc-bench-meth-03.txt, Methodology Guidelines
for Accelerated Stress Benchmarking
•
•
Ready for WGLC?
– draft-ietf-bmwg-acc-bench-meth-ebgp-00.txt, Methodology for
Benchmarking Accelerated Stress with Operational EBGP
Instabilities
– draft-ietf-bmwg-acc-bench-meth-opsec-00.txt, Methodology for
Benchmarking Accelerated Stress with Operational Security
•
Input provided by OpSec WG
– Advantage of this format: additional technology specific methodologies
could be added

•
NETWORK PROTECTION MECHANISMS
(Proposed
WG Work Item)
(1 of 2)
Co-authors are Scott Poretsky of Reef Point, Jean-Louis LeRoux of France Telecom, Takumi
Kimura of NTT, Shankar Rao of Qwest, and Rajiv Papneja of Isocore
•
•
draft-poretsky-protection-term-00.txt, Benchmarking
Terminology for Protection Performance
– At request of co-chairs, this work item provides a single
Terminology document from 2 separately proposed work
items for benchmarking sub-IP layer protection
mechanisms
draft-poretsky-mpls-protection-meth-04.txt, Benchmarking
Methodology for MPLS Protection Mechanisms
– Submitted with updated terminology to match new
Terminology doc
– Prior revisions were reviewed by participants in MPLS WG
and BMWG
– Fast Reroute mechanism now RFC 4090

NETWORK PROTECTION MECHANISMS
(Proposed
WG Work Item)
(2 of 2)
•
Need for this work item:
1. The IP network layer provides route convergence to protect data traffic
against planned and unplanned failures in the internet.
•
BWMG has work items to address convergence benchmarking.
2. Technologies that function at sub-IP layers can be enabled to provide
further protection of IP traffic.
3. The metrics for benchmarking the performance of sub-IP protection
mechanisms can be measured at the IP layer, so that the results are
always measured in reference to IP and independent of the specific
protection mechanism being used.
•
•
Enables different protection mechanisms to be benchmarked and compared
Enables different implementations of the same protection mechanism to be
benchmarked and compared
4. Sub-IP protection mechanisms include High Availability (HA) stateful
failover. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Automatic Protection
Switching (APS) for SONET/SDH, and Fast Reroute for Multi-Protocol
Label Switching (MPLS).
5. It is intended that there can exist unique methodology documents for each
sub-IP protection mechanism, such as MPLS.
