>This document establishes terminology to standardize the
>description of benchmarking methodology for measuring eBGP convergence
>in the control plane of a single BGP device. Future documents will
>address iBGP convergence, the initiation of forwarding based on
>converged control plane information and multiple interacting BGP
>devices. This terminology is applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6.
>Illustrative examples of each version are included where relevant.
