I've just posted an Internet Draft that pertains to some of the
exterior routing performance discussions on the list.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Benchmarking Methodology for Exterior Routing
Convergence
Author(s) : H. Berkowitz
Filename : draft-berkowitz-bgpcon-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 29-Jan-01
This document defines a specific set of tests that vendors can use to
measure and report the convergence performance of BGP-4 processes.
It does not consider the forwarding performance of such routers once
they have converged. A separate document will define convergence in
interior routing.
This memo will consider changes in forwarding performance while a router
is reconverging, but RFC 2544 remains the methodology document for
benchmarking forwarding performance.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
