RE: Proposed response to OIF on OSPF ENNI



Title: Message
Hi John,
 
If you wish to discuss how the tests were carried out, you can talk to the
7 major carriers that provided lab sites and the 13 router and switch vendors that participated
in the 2005 demo.
 
In what sense does IETF use the term interoperability test? Is there an RFC on this?
I was unaware that IETF ran interoperability tests.
 
Cheers,
 
Lyndon

 Regarding Topic 2:

 

 

Again I ask, wouldn’t it be better to look at this document which has been implemented by many vendors, and successfully interoperability tested many times over many years to see what can be leveraged instead of starting from scratch? 

 

JD:  I noticed that Jonathan has put in this plug several times.  I am wondering whether these events are truly interoperability tests, in the sense that the IETF uses the term, or rather rigged demos?  I seem to remember that the OIF characterized itself as a marketing organization.
