CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Scott Bradner/Harvard
BMWG Minutes
The Benchmarking Methodology Working Group had a well attended and
productive meeting in Boulder.
The terminology memo was moved forward to the IAB as an informational
document and will be sent to the RFC editor.
There was much discussion on what parameters should be included in the
list of information requested of vendors for a specific device. There
was concern expressed that the list of questions be framed in such a way
that vendors will not be asked to reveal what they might consider to be
trade secrets. A list of parameters was tentatively decided upon and
fell into two categories:
1. Informational parameters that require behavior descriptions.
2. Parameters that require specific testing procedures and reporting
formats.
An example of the first is device behavior when in an overloaded state,
does it throw away all incoming frames or does it do some form of
prioritization. An example of the second is the frames per second
throughput of a device.
A draft of the methodology memo is planned for January with a video
conference to be held about that time.
