Dear BMWG and v6ops WG members,

We posted a new version of the IPv6 Benchmarking Methodology draft:

This draft has the following major changes with respect to the previous rev:

- Includes recommendations for benchmarking with traffic that has the Hop-by-Hop Extension Header (as suggested by v6ops and BMWG)

- Updated frame size recommendations for Ethernet to include Jumbo frames (Appendix updated to include line rates values for all frame sizes)

- Proposal for IPv6 benchmarking prefix assignment by IANA

- The Security section contains the new standard text discussed within BMWG

This version also includes many editorial changes suggested by the reviewers.

Any feedback, comment or advice would be most welcomed.

Best Regards,

Ciprian Popoviciu for the authors of this draft
