[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Test Specifications

bar@dpmizar.sw.Datapoint.COM (Brian Ruptash) (08/24/88)

According to USAF DDN PMO people, the NBS is working on a full suite
DDN (DDN X.25, TCP/IP et al, FTP, TELNET, SMTP) reference test system,
under contract for DCA.  Apparently this system necessitates active
responders in the host under test.

Does anyone know of this system, and whether its specifications, and
more importantly those for the responders, are available yet?

Brian,
	As you may recall, I mentioned at the meeting that BBN has
a very flexible capability of testing host implementation of a variety
of protocols.  BBN has the NVLAP tests but cannot implement them immediately
because we do not have the requisite operating system they require.  We
do have the DDN X.25 certification tests and we have applied with DCA
and NBS for certification licensing.  If you have any interest in our
capabilities, please let me know.

Regards,
Alan
