[mod.protocols.tcp-ip] Certification tests for TCP/IP?

kluger@Sun.COM@roundhouse.UUCP (03/02/87)

Hello fellow tcp-ip'ers,

I know of the DCA conducted certification tests for DDN-X.25.

But what about certification tests for TCP/IP? I heard a rumour a while
back that such tests were being developed, but did anything ever happen?

Thanks,

Larry,  As of now there is no certification program in place for
TCP/IP and above.  Much development work was done under contract to
DCA to develop such tests.  The results of that work are being considered
to be released into the public domain so that testing companies can
come forth and offer testing services for TCP/IP based upon that (or
additional) work.  I don't know when it will happen (or it is for sure)
but i expect it to be in the next few months.
