Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) has been developing key
   performance metrics and laboratory test methods since 1990, and
   continues this work at present.  Recent application of the methods
   beyond their intended scope is cause for concern.  This memo
   clarifies the scope of RFC 2544 and other benchmarking work for the
   IETF community.

Working Group Summary

   Working group consensus was achieved in a single WGLC, after allowing
   a year for review and many useful comments and exchanges. 

Document Quality

   The single-sentence message of this memo was clear from first publication.
   Most comments helped to make the wording more concise.
