Hi Fred,

Thanks for the note.  We (the ZigBee team) will create a test report for
what we have tested.  Should have a draft soon (we will try to have
something by the end of next week since we already have the test reports and
just need to recast them as a draft and highlight the v6man draft tests)

Don

Don - see 

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1246.txt
1246 Experience with the OSPF Protocol. J. Moy. July 1991. (Format:
     TXT=70441, PS=141924, PDF=84633 bytes) (Also RFC1247, RFC1245)
     (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

When we advance a routing protocol to Proposed Standard, for reasons related
to ancient IESG history related to routing, we generally require a test
report that shows interoperable implementations of the standard in question.
As you can imagine, there was an NDA around the various events RFC 1246
reports - you won't find comments on the fact that Cisco's initial
implementation of OSPF was a demon's delight, but you will find comments on
who tested, and what the outcome of the testing was after we (yes, I was
there, while working at ACC) all fixed our bugs.

It would be very helpful if you could, with the implementors in question,
filed a report on the testing.
