Benchmarking Methodology
charter-ietf-bmwg-08

BMWG is rechartering - the charter changes are relatively minor, and simply update to reflect that the WG is already doing virtualized stuff:
"The scope of BMWG has been extended to develop methods for virtual network functions (VNF) and their unique supporting infrastructure (such as SDN Controllers and vSwitches). 
Benchmarks for platform capacity and performance characteristics of virtual routers, firewalls (and other security functions),  signaling control gateways, and other forms of gateways are included.  
The benchmarks will foster comparisons between physical and virtual network functions, and also cover unique features of   Network Function Virtualization systems. Also, with the emergence of virtualized test systems, specifications for test system calibration are also in-scope."
