         Benchmarking Methodology for EVPN and PBB-EVPN 
                draft-kishjac-bmwg-evpntest-09

Abstract

This document defines methodologies for benchmarking EVPN and PBB-EVPN performance.
EVPN is defined in RFC 7432, and is being deployed in Service Provider networks. 
This document specifically covers methodologies for benchmarking EVPN/PBB-EVPN 
convergence, data plane performance, control plane performance.

1.  Introduction

    EVPN is defined in RFC7432 which describes procedures for
   BGP MPLS-based Ethernet VPNs(EVPN).This document defines the  
   methodologies for benchmarking performance of EVPN. The scope of 
   this document is to provide methodologies for benchmarking EVPN 
   data, control plane MAC learning, MAC flush ,MAC aging,   
   convergence, high availability, scale.
   The methodologies defined for EVPN can be used for benchmarking the
    performance of PBB-EVPN.PBB-EVPN is defined in RFC 7623.It is
   being deployed in provider network. The difference between PBB-EVPN
