Abstract

   This document describes the terms to be used in a methodology that
   determines the IP packet forwarding performance of IP routers as a
   function of the forwarding information base installed within a
   router.  The forwarding performance of an IP router may be dependent
   upon or may be linked to the composition and size of the forwarding
   information base installed within a router.
