In order to begin to communicate about this project in related standards development organizations, the project team has agreed to summarize the direction of our LTD spec in an Internet Draft, and contribute that draft to the IETF Benchmarking Methodology Working Group, or BMWG. The BMWG was re-chartered in 2014 to include benchmarking for Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) and their Infrastructure, so this appears to be welcome input.

BMWG is one of the longest-running working groups in IETF. Many of the RFCs referenced in the LTD originated in the BMWG, including foundation RFC 1242 and RFC 2544. OPNFV may benefit from additional review of the IETF Benchmarking community, and this Internet Draft affords that opportunity.
