Network Processing Forum Extends Benchmarks for IPv6

The Network Processing Forum (NPF) released new benchmarking specifications for measuring the performance of network processing elements. Specifically, the NPF extended its IP forwarding benchmark to include both IPv6 and a more robust set of routing tables in an updated IP Forwarding Application Level Benchmark Implementation Agreement (IA). The NPF also released two new benchmarking Implementation Agreements focused on fabrics: the Performance Testing Methodology for Fabric Benchmarking IA and the Switch Fabric Benchmark Test Suites IA.
