Technical Summary
There are benchmarking methodologies addressing the performance of
network interconnect devices that are IPv4- or IPv6-capable, but the
IPv6 transition technologies are outside of their scope. This
document provides complementary guidelines for evaluating the
performance of IPv6 transition technologies. More specifically,
this document targets IPv6 transition technologies that employ
encapsulation or translation mechanisms, as dual-stack nodes can be
very well tested using the recommendations of RFC2544 and RFC5180.
The methodology also includes a metric for benchmarking load
scalability.
Working Group Summary
Once the Working Group agreed on the approach taken in this draft,
development of the draft was straightforward and WG consensus was
smooth. No issues raised during IETF LC.
Document Quality
Document is clear (and provides a nice introduction to
the technology as well!).
Review of key v6 experts was obtained, see Acknowledgements.
