These new Internet Drafts are now standards track in the IETF
Benchmarking Technology Working Group. The terminology draft may
help clear up some often confusing BGP terminology, beyond the pure
area of convergence.
These were coauthored by a multivendor team, including Alvaro Retana
of Cisco, Marianne Lepp of Juniper, Sue Hares and Padma Krisnaswamy
of Nexthop, and myself at Nortel. Elwyn Davies (Nortel) should have
some early experimental data available in the next couple of weeks,
although this is to validate the methodology rather than make any
direct comparisons of commercial routers.

Title : Terminology for Benchmarking External Routing
Convergence Measurements
Author(s) : H. Berkowitz et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-bmwg-conterm-00.txt
Pages :
Date : 16-Jul-01
This draft establishes terminology to standardize the description of
benchmarking methodology for measuring eBGP convergence in the control
plane of a single router. Future documents will address iBGP
convergence, the initiation of forwarding based on converged control
plane information and internet-wide convergence.

Title : Benchmarking Methodology for Basic BGP Convergence
Author(s) : H. Berkowitz et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-bmwg-bgpbas-00.txt
Pages :
Date : 16-Jul-01
This draft establishes standards for measuring BGP convergence
performance. Its initial emphasis is on the control plane of single
BGP routers. We do not address forwarding plane performance.
