Abstract

The benchmarking methodologies defined in RFC 2544 are IP versionindependent. However, RFC 2544 does not address some of thespecificities of IPv6. This document provides additionalbenchmarking guidelines, which in conjunction with RFC 2544, lead to amore complete and realistic evaluation of the IPv6 performance ofnetwork interconnect devices. IPv6 transition mechanisms are outsidethe scope of this document. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
