A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group
of the IETF.
Title : Benchmarking Terminology for Firewall
Performance
Author(s) : D. Newman
Filename : draft-ietf-bmwg-secperf-04.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 27-Jul-98
This document defines terms used in measuring the performance of
firewalls. It extends the terminology already used for benchmarking
routers and switches and adds terminology specific to firewalls. The
primary metrics used in this document are bit forwarding rate and
connections.

Send a message to: mailserv at ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-secperf-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
