Motivation for Benchmarking MPLS TE Scalability and Performance
Cisco Systems
This document describes the motivation for benchmarking MPLS traffic engineering (TE) convergence using Resource Reservation protocol as an underlying signaling protocol. This document provides an overview of the work item and a separate methodology and terminology document will be generated if there is enough interest in this area. This work compliments MPLS protection benchmarking work, which is already being pursued in the Benchmarking working group at IETF.
