Hello, I'm wondering if someone can refer me to any organizations/businesses that can provide an independent review of software for verification & validation of RFC compliance? I've seen a couple older threads on this mailing list that suggest they don't exist, and that only occasionally one may find some interoperability tests available through the Working Group that published a particular RFC. Just looking for some clarification. Thank you, -Len Marinis
Len, The IETF is not in the validation business, indeed. I'm not aware of any generic answer to your question, but there are interop testing events or certification mechanisms for some protocols, quite independent of the IETF. You just have to find them case by case. You can find IETF implementation reports, when they exist, at http://www.ietf.org/IESG/implementation.html. Please read the disclaimer at the top of that page. Brian Carpenter IETF Chair _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
