The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Guidance on Interoperation and Implementation Reports for Advancement to Draft Standard ' <draft-dusseault-impl-reports-04.txt> as a BCP This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Tim Polk. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dusseault-impl-reports-04.txt Technical Summary Advancing a protocol to Draft Standard requires documentation of the interoperation and implementation of the protocol. Historic reports have varied widely in form and level of content and there is little guidance available to new report preparers. This document updates the existing processes and provides more detail on what is appropriate in an interoperability and implementation report. Working Group Summary This is not the product of an IETF working group. This document has received significant review from members of the community, and those reviewers have been supportive. Additional review is needed from the broader community to ensure that opposing views have been considered. That review is expected from IETF Last Call. Document Quality The process described in this document has been executed to create an implementation report for RFC 3852. The person who created that report indicated the process was appropriate and more effectively achieved the goals of implementation than a report referencing each occurrence of RFC 2119 conformance language. This report did not conform precisely to the suggested report format, but in retrospect would have been more readable if it had conformed precisely. Personnel Tim Polk is the responsible Area Director, and is acting as document shepherd. RFC Editor Note Please make the following three modifications. (1) In Section 5.3, please make the following substitution: OLD: MIBs are sometimes documented in implementation reports and examples of that can be found in the archive of implementation reports. NEW: Management Information Base (MIBs, [RFC3410]) modules are sometimes documented in implementation reports and examples of that can be found in the archive of implementation reports. (2) In section 5.5, please append the following as a third bullet point in the list: - MIB modules can be tested with generic MIB browsers, to confirm that different implementations return the same values for objects under similar conditions. (3) In section 9.2, add the following informational reference [RFC3410] Case, J., Mundy, R., Partain, D., and B. Stewart, "Introduction and Applicability Statements for Internet- Standard Management Framework", RFC 3410, December 2002.
