Title: Benchmarking Methodology for MPLS Protection Mechanisms
State: Active
Authors: Scott Poretsky
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-07-20
This draft describes the methodology for benchmarking MPLS protection
mechanisms. An overview of existing MPLS Protection terminology and
functionality is provided as as background for the methodology. The
methodology can be applied to any MPLS Protection mechanism such as Headend
Reroute, Standby LSP, Fast Reroute Detour Mode, and Fast Reroute Bypass
Mode. The data plane is measured to obtain the benchmarking metrics.
Discussion is included to explain the differences between MPLS Protection
mechanisms, the network events that cause failover, and the benefits of
measuring the data plane for black-box MPLS Protection benchmarking.
Measurements can be used to compare failover performance of different
Label-Switched Routers and evaluate the different MPLS protection
mechanisms.
