Routers in an operational network are simultaneously configured with
multiple protocols and security policies while forwarding traffic and being
managed. To accurately benchmark a router for deployment it is necessary
that the router be tested in these simultaneous operational conditions,
which is known as Stress Testing. This document provides the Methodology
for performing Stress Benchmarking of networking devices. Descriptions of
Test Topology, Benchmarks and Reporting Format are provided in addition to
procedures for conducting various test cases. The methodology is to be used
with the companion terminology document [6].
