Working Group
This is the supplementary
web page for the BMWG. If you arrived here directly you should
check out the IETF BMWG
Charter, and the IETF Tools Page (in particular, the
tools page for BMWG gives status
of drafts). On the Tools page you can view diff-marked versions of the
drafts on our charter, and find some of the drafts describing proposed
new work. Others are listed below.
Short Description:
The BMWG develops terminology/definitions for key performance
characteristics of internetworking technologies, and
methodologies for laboratory measurement of these
characteristics, or benchmarks. We have prepared a series of
Informational RFCs that address specific technologies, and build on
that foundation to address new technologies as they emerge and become
relevant (while maintaining a reasonable work-load of items on our charter).
How to join BMWG:
Subscribe to the mailing
list, read the charter,
and review the list
archive, but most importantly be prepared to help us with our
current work by reading the existing drafts (also the key references to
BMWG RFCs) and then share your comments on the mailing
list. If
you have a new work area you would like to propose, scan the list
archive for earlier proposals and check-out the proceedings
from previous meetings, and you'll glean an idea of what's involved.
WG Last Call Process:
The BMWG typically requires more than one Working Group Last Call to
reach rough consensus that a particular draft is ready for Area
Director review, IESG Review, and subsequent publication following
approval. To accelerate this process, the WG leadership developed
the WG Last Call
Process Active Review Template. When a draft is mature and
enters the Last Call Process, approximately four WG members volunteer
to complete the template, which is a set of detailed questions designed
to help the reviewer consider all important aspects of specification
development. This message
to the bmwg list describes our current process in detail.
