Fwd: I-D ACTION:draft-hoffman-ipsec-testing-00.txt
Greetings again. Michael Richardson and I put together this draft to help
make interoperability testing and verification faster. One thing that I saw
many times at the Santa Barbara and San Diego bakeoffs was people spinning
their wheels on testing when it turns out they didn't have the right
addresses built into their systems and so on. Following the steps in this
draft will certainly help prevent those situations.
This is a first draft, and it is likely that some of you can think of
things we did wrong or other things we need to add. There are also some
questions about what we should and should not register with IANA. Your
comments are invited.
