Below find more information from UNH IOL concerning
the testing that uncovered differing interpretations
of Sections 16.2 and 16.4.1 of RFC 1583.

Right now it seems like Christian's and Alex' interpretation
of the spec (16.2 overrides 16.4.1) is the one that we
should go with. If there are any vendors who strongly
disagree with this, they should speak up soon.

Hi John,

        I went through the results of the last year:
        11 out of 18 vendors supported only RFC 1583
        Of the 7 vendors supporting both, 2 out of 7 failed test B and the
other 5 passed.
        It seems that most of our vendors support RFC 1583 but we have been
getting more requests for RFC 2328 testing in recent months than RFC 1583.

        Yes, we will make sure our tests match the interpretation that the
OSPF
community decides is correct.

        We will contact all of our members if the suite changes so that they
can reschedule testing.

        Feel free to forward this information to the OSPF list if you think
it
will benefit other vendors.
