This document defines methodologies for benchmarking the
control-plane performance of Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
Controllers. The SDN Controller is a core component in the SDN
architecture that controls the behavior of the network. SDN
Controllers have been implemented with many varying designs in order
to achieve their intended network functionality. Hence, the authors
of this document have taken the approach of considering an SDN
Controller to be a black box, defining the methodology in a manner
that is agnostic to protocols and network services supported by
controllers. This document provides a method for measuring the
performance of all controller implementations.
This document is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the
IETF.
