The IESG has received a request from the Benchmarking Methodology WG (bmwg) to consider the following document: - 'Considerations for Benchmarking Virtual Network Functions and Their Infrastructure' <draft-ietf-bmwg-virtual-net-04.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2017-02-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Benchmarking Methodology Working Group has traditionally conducted laboratory characterization of dedicated physical implementations of internetworking functions. This memo investigates additional considerations when network functions are virtualized and performed in general purpose hardware. See the new version history section for updates. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-virtual-net/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bmwg-virtual-net/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
