Benchmarking Methodology for EVPN and PBB-EVPN
draft-ietf-bmwg-evpntest-07
Abstract
This document defines methodologies for benchmarking EVPN and PBB-
EVPN performance. EVPN is defined in RFC 7432, and is being deployed
in Service Provider networks. Specifically, this document defines
the methodologies for benchmarking EVPN/PBB-EVPN convergence, data
plane performance, and control plane performance.
