This document describes the methodology for benchmarking Link-State
Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Route Convergence.  The methodology
is to be used for benchmarking IGP convergence time through
externally observable (black-box) data-plane measurements.  The
methodology can be applied to any link-state IGP, such as IS-IS and
OSPF.  This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; 
it is published for informational purposes.

This document is a product of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF.
