Technical Summary
This document describes test cases that can be used for performance
evaluation of the congestion control algorithms being developed by the
RMCAT working group. These are suitable for laboratory experiments, in
a controlled testbed environment, and are intended to demonstrate the
basic suitability of the algorithms. They will complement, but do not
replace, real-world testing.
Working Group Summary
WG determined that draft-ietf-rmcat-eval-criteria was getting unwieldy
and over-long, and decided to split the test cases out into a separate
draft. This was done at IETF 89, with the result being adopted as WG
item at IETF 90. Steady discussion since then, gradually accumulating
test cases as the candidate congestion control algorithm, and the WGs
experiences with them, have developed. No particular controversies.
Document Quality
The draft has been carefully reviewed by the WG, including by the
implementers of the candidate congestion control algorithms, and
has received extensive input based on evaluation experience. The
test cases presented represent a good consensus from the WG about
what is needed for basic evaluation of the algorithms. No MIB Doctor,
Media Type, or other expert review needed or undertaken.
Personnel
