Benchmarking Methodology for EVPN Multicasting
draft-vikjac-bmwg-evpnmultest-05
Abstract
This document defines methodologies for benchmarking IGMP proxy
performance over EVPN-VXLAN. IGMP proxy over EVPN is defined in
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-IGMP-mld-proxy-02, and is being deployed in data
center networks. Specifically this document defines the
methodologies for benchmarking IGMP proxy convergence, leave latency
Scale,Core isolation, high availability and longevity.
