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 have never seen such an activity covering the entire set of IETF RFCs.
It should be huge if it ever existed.
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.
Recently in the NEMO Working Group there is discussion about how to make
the "IPv6-Ready Logo" be inline with the particular RFC that describes
NEMOv6.
IPv6 Ready Logo is a program of the IPv6 Forum. I think they try to
cover all that's IPv6.
Other times an RFC may describe a particular implementation of an
encryption algorithm for IP messages, itself being designed outside
IETF, and for which some independent validations may exist.
Yet other times a particular RFC describes what's the outputs that
should correspond to the inputs of a particular authentication algorithm
- enough of validation per se.
