This document is ready as an Informational. A couple of minor comments
that can benefit the draft below.
Major: 0
Minor: 2
Nits: 0
Minor:
- S1, 4th paragraph: "An IMIX suited for one networking device and
deployment will not be appropriate for another." I suspect the
variability of the packet sizes has to do with the vendor whose device
is being benchmarked. In other words, a constant, K, used as a packet
size by Vendor A does not mean that K can be used while benchmarking a
device by Vendor B. If so, it may be helpful to augment the quoted
sentence above by the phrase "because packet sizes differ across
different vendor devices."
- S3, "o Non-RFC2544 packet sizes ... in the table." --- Is this not
already covered in S4 (Custom IMIX)? When I read the quoted bullet
item, I immediately thought of some sort of an encoding scheme to
encode non standard packet sizes, which is what S4 does. Maybe I
am missing something?
Thanks,
- vijay
