This document aims to strongly 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. The main areas covered in this document are test terminology, test configuration parameters, and benchmarking methodology for NGFW and NGIDS/NGIPS to start with.}, }
