This document provides benchmarking terminology and methodology for
next-generation network security devices, including next-generation
firewalls (NGFWs) and next-generation intrusion prevention systems
(NGIPSs). The main areas covered in this document are test
terminology, test configuration parameters, and benchmarking
methodology for NGFWs and NGIPSs. (It is assumed that readers have a
working knowledge of these devices and the security functionality
they contain.) This document aims to improve the applicability,
reproducibility, and transparency of benchmarks and to align the test
methodology with today's increasingly complex layer 7
security-centric network application use cases. As a result, this
document makes RFC 3511 obsolete.
This document is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the
IETF.
