Benchmarking Terminology for Protection Performance
Scott Poretsky, Rajiv Papneja, J. Karthik, S. Vapiwala · 2011
This document provides common terminology and metrics for benchmarking the performance of sub-IP layer protection mechanisms.The performance benchmarks are measured at the IP layer; protection may be provided at the sub-IP layer.The benchmarks and terminology can be applied in methodology documents for different sub-IP layer protection mechanisms such as Automatic Protection Switching (APS), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Stateful High Availability (HA), and Multiprotocol Label Switching Fast Reroute (MPLS-FRR).
