3.  Terms and Methods for Benchmarking IPsec Devices (Merike Kaeo?)

     WGLC was completed on term version 05 with comments, and version 07
     reflects responses and other revisions stemming from development
     of the methodology. 
     Other than a few definitions that the authors weren't able to 
     add this time, the meth is believed to be rather complete. 
     There are a few *new* definitions (both in term and meth) 
     regarding capacity testing, and one was removed (IKE attack testing).

     The two docs should be in sync!  WG review and feedback is needed!

4.  Techniques for Benchmarking Core Router Accelerated Life Testing.

     Terminology & Methodology I-Ds revised. The Methodology has been split 
     into 3 drafts (general, EBGP, & security). Editor wishes to test
     readiness for WGLC on terms and general methods drafts and discuss the
     next steps for the specific-topic methodologies. (Poretsky)
