[misc.wanted] Request for TCP/IP conformance test

eac@edison.GE.COM (Beth Clark) (04/13/87)

Is anyone familiar with a conformance test for TCP/IP similar to
the ITI conformance tests for MAP?  Is there a way to know that
you're really getting full, complete, correct, TCP/IP from a
vendor?    Any info, hints, pointers, etc. would be appreciated.

This is a big issue right now with vendors, customers and the whole
TCP/IP community.  For more information contact :

	Advanced Computing Environments
	21370 Vai Avenue
	Cupertino, CA 95014

	(408)-996-2042

They are responsible for the effort to get the community together on
this issue.  They have sponsered two TCP/IP conferences, and the last
one was concerned primarily with interoperability.  They also have
a monthly newsletter entitled 'Connexions', which deals with this
issue, and may answer some of these questions.
