Hi,
In general, how is a BGP implementation evaluated/benchmarked by an
operator?
Are there any well-known figures relating to memory-consumption, speed of
convergence, scalability etc. that one can benchmark with?
There was a write-up on Data Comm magazine testing Juniper's M40 BGP. I
haven't seen much more than that - especially test procedures used to
compare various vendor implementations.
Thanks in advance,
-Sathya
