# Summary The document defines a methodology for benchmarking Segment Routing (SR) performance for Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) and MPLS (SR- MPLS). ## Has Issues: I have some minor concerns about this document that I think should be resolved before publication. ## Major comments 1. In the section 3 on reporting format, the measurement unit for some of metrics have been specified such as throughput, however the measure unit for all the other metrics are unspecified, suggest to add measurement unit for each metric in section 4. 2. Section 4.3 said reporting format for latency is specified in section 3, however I can not see latency parameter in section 3. 3. Similarly Section 4.4 said reporting format for frame loss is specified in section 3, however I am unable to see frame loss parameter described in section 3. 4. For metrics defined in section 4, how is different from what has been specified in RFC5695 and RFC 2544, it lacks clarity. 5. It will be more clear if there is mapping table between metric defined in section 4 and parameters in the reporting format specified in section 3. 6. Section 2.3 said: "Some Layer 2 technologies, like POS or Point-to-Point (PPP), have bit- or byte- stuffing, and [RFC4814] may help to calculate real performance more accurately or else a 1-2% error is expected." which type of error do we expect here? Are there any other significant sources of measurement errors? ## Minor comment 1. The procedure specified in section 4.1.1,4.1.2,4.1.3,4.1.4 looks same, suggest to remove duplication, e.g., for procedure which is subsequent to section 4.1.1, we can say "same as section 4.1.1" 2. Move the following paragraph to Discussion bullet " In the case of SR-MPLS, the SID list is PUSHed to the MPLS label stack. It is similar to label Push or LSP Ingress forwarding operation, as per Section 6.1.1 of [RFC5695] and Section 26.1 of [RFC2544]. In the case of SRv6, the received packet is encapsulated in an IPv6 outer header including the SRH as a Routing Extension Header. The Segment List in the SRH is composed of SIDs and the Source SR node sets the first SID of the SR Policy as the IPv6 Destination Address of the packet. The RECOMMENDED headend behavior is H.Encaps, in case of interest for another behavior (H.Encaps.Red or H.Encaps.L2 or H.Encaps.L2.Red) it is OPTIONAL to test it with proper reporting. Additionally, the router could be configured for NEXT-C-SID or REPLACE-C-SID compression. " 3. s/Reporting parameter preserved from/Reporting parameter inherited from
