Benchmarks and Methods for Multihomed EVPN
draft-morton-bmwg-multihome-evpn-04
Abstract
Fundamental Benchmarking Methodologies for Network Interconnect
Devices of interest to the IETF are defined in RFC 2544. Key
benchmarks applicable to restoration and multi-homed sites are in RFC
6894. This memo applies these methods to Multihomed nodes
implemented on Ethernet Virtual Private Networks (EVPN).
Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14[RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute

1. Introduction
The IETF's fundamental Benchmarking Methodologies are defined
in[RFC2544], supported by the terms and definitions in [RFC1242], and
[RFC2544] actually obsoletes an earlier specification, [RFC1944].
This memo recognizes the importance of Ethernet Virtual Private
Network (EVPN) Multihoming connectivity scenarios, where a CE device
is connected to 2 or more PEs using an instance of an Ethernet
Segment.
