Benchmarking Methodology for Route Origin Validation (ROV)

This document defines a benchmarking methodology for routers that implement ROV. The methodology focuses on device-level behavior, including processing of validated ROA payload (VRP) updates, the interaction between ROV and BGP, control-plane resource utilization, and the scalability of ROV under varying operational conditions. The procedures described here follow the principles and constraints of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) and are intended to produce repeatable and comparable results across implementations.
