We have started on benchmarking routing protocol performance in the
Benchmarking Technology Working Group (BMWG), but started with BGP.
IGP convergence benchmarking work would be extremely welcome there,
and might be able to reuse some of what we've done, especially with
respect to terminology.
See
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-conterm-00.txt
and
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-bmwg-bgpbas-00.txt
The first is terminology, the second basic methodology.It is the BMWG
style to split topics into these two documents. Speaking for the
team, we would be very glad both to get your comments, and to help
get started on an IGP task. There are other people interested that,
but no specific proposal has emerged yet.
