The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Testing Eyeball Happiness' (draft-baker-bmwg-testing-eyeball-happiness-05.txt) as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Ron Bonica. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-baker-bmwg-testing-eyeball-happiness/ Technical Summary The amount of time it takes to establish a session using common transport APIs in dual stack networks and networks with filtering such as proposed in BCP 38 is a barrier to IPv6 deployment. This note describes a test that can be used to determine whether an application can reliably establish sessions quickly in a complex environment such as dual stack (IPv4+IPv6) deployment or IPv6 deployment with multiple prefixes and upstream ingress filtering. This test is not a test of a specific algorithm, but of the external behavior of the system as a black box. Any algorithm that has the intended external behavior will be accepted by it. Working Group Summary This draft is not the product of any working group. However, the Happy Eyeball concept was presented to the BMWG WG and they raised no objection. Document Quality This document describes a test procedure, not a protocol. It was reviewed by the BMWG chair and the AD. No major problems were found. Personnel Ron Bonica is both shepherd and AD for this document. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
