Minutes of the Benchmarking Working Group (BMWG)

The Benchmarking Methodology Working Group met on Wednesday afternoon
during the Washington IETF meeting.  The topic of discussion was mostly
the draft of the frame formats memo that is to accompany the methodology
memo.  The basic document was approved and some suggestions were made
for improvement.  Both the methodology memo and the frame formats memo
will be submitted as Internet-Drafts after the requested editing.

A note for the record:  The NIC has assigned a block of Class C IP
network addresses to be used in the methodology memo.  The intent of the
assignment is to ensure that, even if a tester is accidentally attached
to the Internet, minimal service interruption will occur since the
addresses will never be ``known'' to the backbone.  The addresses
assigned are the Class C networks from 198.18.1.0 through 198.19.254.0.
