1Introduction
Thisdocumentisintendedtoprovideterminologyforthebenchmarkingoflocalareanetwork(LAN)switchingdevices.ItextendstheterminologyalreadydefinedforbenchmarkingnetworkinterconnectdevicesinRFCs1242and1944toswitchingdevices.
Althoughitmightbefoundusefultoapplysomeofthetermsdefinedheretoabroaderrangeofnetworkinterconnectdevices,thisRFCprimarilydealswithdeviceswhichswitchframesattheMediumAccessControl(MAC)layer.Itdefinestermsinrelationtothetrafficputtousewhenbenchmarkingswitchingdevices,forwardingperformance,congestioncontrol,latency,addresshandlingandfiltering.
