This document defines terms that are 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 the router.
本文件定义了在确定IP路由器的IP包转发性能的方法中使用的术语，该性能取决于路由器内安装的转发信息库。
The objective of this methodology is to evaluate the performance levels of IP routers as forwarding information bases continue to grow in size and complexity of structure.
此方法的目标是评估IP路由器的性能水平，因为转发信息库的大小和结构复杂性不断增长。
This methodology utilizes the packet forwarding performance measurements described in [2]; reference will also be made to the associated terminology document [3] for these terms.
该方法利用了[2]中描述的分组转发性能度量；这些术语也将参考相关术语文件[3]。
In order to measure the forwarding information base-based router performance, different forwarding information bases (5.3) are installed in the router. The two key elements describing the FIB are the FIB size (5.5) and FIB prefix distribution (5.7). The forwarding performance of a router may be dependent upon these two primary factors, particularly if FIB prefix distributions tend towards longer network prefixes (5.1). The FIB-dependent throughput, latency and frame loss rate (6.3, 6.4, 6.5), measured with fully meshed traffic flows [2], will reflect the change in performance of the router. Tests may need to be performed up to the maximum FIB size (6.1).
为了测量基于转发信息库的路由器性能，路由器中安装了不同的转发信息库（5.3）。描述FIB的两个关键元素是FIB大小（5.5）和FIB前缀分布（5.7）。路由器的转发性能可能取决于这两个主要因素，特别是当FIB前缀分布趋向于更长的网络前缀时（5.1）。使用完全网状的流量[2]测量的FIB相关吞吐量、延迟和帧丢失率（6.3、6.4、6.5）将反映路由器性能的变化。测试可能需要进行到最大FIB尺寸（6.1）。
When configuring the router for these measurements, the routes need to be manually entered into the router, or advertised via a routing protocol. It may take some period of time (the FIB learning time (6.2)) before the router learns all the routes.
当为这些测量配置路由器时，需要手动将路由输入路由器，或通过路由协议公布路由。路由器学习所有路由之前可能需要一段时间（FIB学习时间（6.2））。
When routes are advertised into the router, the routes should be advertised in such a way so that route aggregation (5.10) does not occur. Also, the effect of a per-interface FIB cache (5.9) needs to be taken into account.
当路由被播发到路由器中时，应该以这样的方式播发路由，以便不发生路由聚合（5.10）。此外，还需要考虑每个接口FIB缓存（5.9）的影响。
[3] should be consulted before attempting to make use of this document. [2] contains discussions of a number of terms relevant to the benchmarking of network interconnect devices and should also be consulted.

This section defines parameters that would dictate the execution of methodology to determine the FIB based forwarding performance of a router.
本节定义了用于确定路由器基于FIB的转发性能的方法执行的参数。
Definition: "A network prefix is . . . a contiguous set of bits at the more significant end of the address that defines a set of systems; host numbers select among those systems."
定义：“网络前缀是……在定义一组系统的地址的更有效端的一组连续位；主机号在这些系统中进行选择。”
(This definition is taken directly from section 2.2.5.2, "Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR)", in [4].)
（该定义直接取自[4]第2.2.5.2节“无类域间路由（CIDR）”。）
Discussion: In the CIDR context, the network prefix is the network component of an IP address. A common alternative to using a bitwise mask to communicate this component is the use of "slash (/) notation." Slash notation binds the notion of network prefix length (see 5.2) in bits to an IP address. E.g., 141.184.128.0/17 indicates the network component of this IPv4 address is 17 bits wide.
讨论：在CIDR上下文中，网络前缀是IP地址的网络组件。使用位掩码与该组件通信的一个常见替代方法是使用“斜杠（/）表示法”。斜杠表示法将网络前缀长度（见5.2）的概念以位绑定到IP地址。例如，141.184.128.0/17表示此IPv4地址的网络组件的宽度为17位。

Definition: The number of bits used to define the network prefix. Network prefixes, using CIDR terminology, are typically referred to as 15.35.128.0 /17, indicating that the network prefix is 17 bits long.
定义：用于定义网络前缀的位数。使用CIDR术语的网络前缀通常称为15.35.128.0/17，表示网络前缀的长度为17位。
Discussion: When referring to groups of addresses, the network prefix length is often used as a means of describing groups of addresses as an equivalence class. For example, 100 /16 addresses refers to 100 addresses whose network prefix length is 16 bits.
讨论：当提及地址组时，网络前缀长度通常用作将地址组描述为等价类的一种方法。例如，100/16地址指网络前缀长度为16位的100个地址。

定义：根据[4]附录B中的定义：
"The table containing the information necessary to forward IP Datagrams, in this document, is called the Forwarding Information Base. At minimum, this contains the interface identifier and next hop information for each reachable destination network prefix."
在本文档中，包含转发IP数据报所需信息的表称为转发信息库。该表至少包含每个可到达目标网络前缀的接口标识符和下一跳信息
Discussion: The forwarding information base describes a database indexing network prefixes versus router port identifiers.
讨论：转发信息库描述了数据库索引网络前缀与路由器端口标识符。
A forwarding information base consists of [FIB size (5.5)] FIB entries (5.4).
转发信息库由[FIB大小（5.5）]FIB条目（5.4）组成。
The forwarding information base is distinct from the "routing table" (or, the Routing Information Base), which holds all routing information received from routing peers.
转发信息库与“路由表”（或路由信息库）不同，后者保存从路由对等方接收的所有路由信息。
The forwarding information base contains unique paths only (i.e. does not contain secondary paths).
转发信息库仅包含唯一路径（即不包含辅助路径）。

Definition: A single entry within a forwarding information base. This entry consists of the minimum amount of information necessary to make a forwarding decision on a particular packet. The typical components within a forwarding information base entry are a network prefix, a router port identifier and next hop information. This is an entry that the router can and does use to forward packets.
定义：转发信息库中的单个条目。此条目包含对特定数据包做出转发决策所需的最小信息量。转发信息库条目中的典型组件是网络前缀、路由器端口标识符和下一跳信息。这是路由器可以并且确实用于转发数据包的条目。

Definition: Refers to the number of forwarding information base entries within a forwarding information base.
定义：转发信息库中的转发信息库条目数。
Discussion: The number of entries within a forwarding information base is one of the key elements that may influence the forwarding performance of a router. Generally, the more entries within the forwarding information base, the longer it could take to find the longest matching network prefix within the forwarding information base.
讨论：转发信息库中的条目数是可能影响路由器转发性能的关键因素之一。通常，转发信息库中的条目越多，在转发信息库中查找最长匹配网络前缀所需的时间就越长。

Definition: The distribution of network prefix lengths within the forwarding information base.
定义：转发信息库中网络前缀长度的分布。
Discussion: Network prefixes within the forwarding information base could be all of a single network prefix length, but, more realistically, the network prefix lengths will be distributed across some range.
讨论：转发信息库中的网络前缀可以是单个网络前缀长度，但更现实的是，网络前缀长度将分布在某个范围内。
Individual performance measurements will be made against FIBs populated with the same network prefix length, as well as against FIBs with some distribution of network prefix lengths.
将针对具有相同网络前缀长度的FIB以及具有一定网络前缀长度分布的FIB进行单独的性能测量。
The distribution of network prefix lengths may have an impact on the forwarding performance of a router. The longer the network prefix length, the longer it will take for a router to perform the longest length prefix match algorithm, and potentially the lower the performance of the router.
网络前缀长度的分布可能会影响路由器的转发性能。网络前缀长度越长，路由器执行最长长度前缀匹配算法所需的时间就越长，并且路由器的性能可能越低。
Measurement units: The forwarding information base prefix distribution is expressed by a list of network prefix lengths and the percentage of entries within the forwarding information base with a particular network prefix length. For example, a forwarding information base prefix distribution is represented as:
度量单位：转发信息库前缀分布由网络前缀长度列表和转发信息库中具有特定网络前缀长度的条目百分比表示。例如，转发信息基前缀分布表示为：
{[/16, 100], [/20, 360], [/24, 540]}
{[/16, 100], [/20, 360], [/24, 540]}
This indicates that 100 of the entries within the forwarding information base have a 16 bit network prefix length, 360 have a 20 bit network prefix length, and 540 have a 24 bit network prefix length.
这表示转发信息库中的100个条目具有16位网络前缀长度，360具有20位网络前缀长度，540具有24位网络前缀长度。

定义：转发信息库的完整副本，安装在路由器的卡或单个物理接口上，以加快目标地址到网络前缀的查找过程。
Discussion: Router manufacturers have developed many optimizations for routers, of which one optimization is to copy the forwarding information base to every interface or interface card on the router. By doing this, destination address / network prefix lookups can be performed on the interface or card, unloading a router's CPU.
讨论：路由器制造商已经为路由器开发了许多优化，其中一个优化是将转发信息库复制到路由器上的每个接口或接口卡。通过这样做，可以在接口或卡上执行目标地址/网络前缀查找，从而卸载路由器的CPU。

Definition: A subset of a forwarding information base, installed on a router's interface card to speed the destination address / network prefix lookup process.
定义：转发信息库的子集，安装在路由器的接口卡上，以加快目标地址/网络前缀查找过程。
Discussion: Prior to installing a complete copy of the forwarding information base on each interface of a router, a popular technique for speeding destination address lookups is to install a cache of frequently used routes on a router's interface.
讨论：在路由器的每个接口上安装转发信息库的完整副本之前，加速目标地址查找的一种流行技术是在路由器接口上安装一个常用路由缓存。
The most frequently used routes are placed in the forwarding information base cache. IP packets whose destination address does not match a network prefix within the per-interface forwarding information base cache are forwarded to a router's central processor for lookup in the complete forwarding information base.
最常用的路由放置在转发信息库缓存中。目标地址与每个接口转发信息库缓存中的网络前缀不匹配的IP数据包被转发到路由器的中央处理器，以便在完整的转发信息库中查找。
The implication for benchmarking the performance of a router as a function of the forwarding information base is significant. IP packets whose destination address matches an entry within the per-interface forwarding information base cache could be forwarded more quickly than packets whose destination address does not match an entry within the per-interface forwarding information base cache.
将路由器的性能作为转发信息库的一个功能进行基准测试具有重要意义。目标地址与每接口转发信息基缓存中的条目匹配的IP数据包可以比目标地址与每接口转发信息基缓存中的条目不匹配的数据包更快地转发。
To create useful benchmarks, the role of a per-interface forwarding cache needs to be considered. The nature of benchmarking tests to measure the impact of the forwarding performance of a router requires that the destination addresses within IP packets transmitted into the router be distributed amongst the total set of network prefixes advertised into the router. This negates the role of a per-interface forwarding information base cache, but serves to stress the forwarding information base-based packet forwarding performance of the router.
要创建有用的基准，需要考虑每个接口转发缓存的作用。测量路由器转发性能影响的基准测试的性质要求传输到路由器的IP数据包中的目标地址分布在发送到路由器的网络前缀的整个集合中。这否定了每个接口转发信息库缓存的作用，但有助于强调路由器基于转发信息库的包转发性能。

Definition: The ability of a router to collapse many forwarding information base entries into a single entry.
定义：路由器将多个转发信息基条目折叠为单个条目的能力。
Discussion: A router may aggregate routes in a forwarding information base into a single entry to conserve space.
讨论：路由器可以将转发信息库中的路由聚合到单个条目中以节省空间。
When advertising routes into a router to perform benchmarking tests as a function of the forwarding information base installed within the router, it is necessary to ensure that a router does not aggregate routes.
当将路由播发到路由器以执行基准测试（作为路由器内安装的转发信息库的功能）时，有必要确保路由器不会聚合路由。
Thus, when routes are advertised to the router or installed statically, care must be taken to ensure that the router does not aggregate routes.
因此，当路由向路由器播发或静态安装时，必须注意确保路由器不会聚合路由。
For example, if advertising a set of /24 network prefixes into a particular port on the router, 256 consecutive /24 routes, sharing a common leading 16 bits, should not be advertised on a single port. If this is done, then the router will install a single entry within the forwarding information base indicating that all networks matching a particular /16 network prefix are accessible through one particular entry.
例如，如果向路由器上的特定端口播发一组/24网络前缀，则共享公共前导16位的256个连续/24路由不应在单个端口上播发。如果这样做，那么路由器将在转发信息库中安装一个条目，指示所有匹配特定/16网络前缀的网络都可以通过一个特定条目访问。
Route aggregation on a router can be turned off, but routes should still be advertised into the router in such a manner as to avoid route aggregation.
路由器上的路由聚合可以关闭，但路由仍应以避免路由聚合的方式播发到路由器中。
