Hello. We are currently putting together a RFP to obtain more computing
power of the UNIX variety. While we were reviewing the various aspects
of the request, a question came up: Is there a measure for the
"Goodness" of a particular tcp/ip product, ie how well does it conform
to the standards, how well does it perform, etc? We have in the passed
tossed a package from one vendor and purchased one from another on our
VAX/VMS. The UNIX systems presumably comes with a tcp in the system,
but is there anyway to measure whether a vendor has done a particularly
good or bad job of it? I would also welcome comments regarding products
that are out there, especially products that come with a particular
brand of hardware.
Thanks for your time.
