Network devices benchmarking methodology — RFC 2544 performance testing

Networking devices are complex and characterizing their performance is not easy. One must not judge performance based only on the number and type of ports. On the other hand, the performance figures that can be found in marketing materials may not be conclusive. Therefore, some while ago, the effort was made to create a unified benchmarking methodology to produce reliable, repeatable and comparable results. In this short article we’ll describe the basic performance metrics of networking devices and the methodology used to measure them.
