Editor's Note: Minutes received 8/3 CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Scott Bradner/Harvard Minutes of the Benchmarking Working Group (BMWG) The Benchmarking Methodology Working Group met on Monday, July 13th. Two proposed additional performance tests were discussed. The Group concluded that one of the proposals should not be adopted. The second proposal, to add an application level performance test, should be discussed with the test equipment vendors to see if they would be willing to implement such tests. The latest draft was discussed and a few editorial changes were suggested. It was strongly urged that some additions be made to the draft to add the rational behind the various tests and procedures.
