Hi All -
I know that this forum caters to TAHI and the IPv6Ready Logo specification. However, I wanted to get
some information from folks that do both the IPv6 logo as well as the US Department of Defense certification
and hence this mail.
I recently found out that the DoD publishes the generic test plan it uses to test conformance of IPv6 RFCs.
You can look at the current document here: http://jitc.fhu.disa.mil/adv_ip/register/docs/dodipv6gpv3_aug07.pdf
The tests listed in DoD's generic test plan seems less rigorous than the test plan for IPv6Ready logo published
by UNH. For example, for RFC 4443 the DoD's test plan checks for ICMPv6 informational messages only in
6 different cases but I find that TAHI does a much better coverage of 4443 with informational and error messages
in different conditions.
I know that DoD does RFC conformance, interoperability and performance testing and the following relates only to
the conformance testing part of it. My question to people doing both certifications is:
1. Would I be correct in assuming that SelfTest 4.x.x is a superset of the DoD's tests?
2. If so, when my device passes all the tests in SelfTest 4.x.x, can I assume that the device will also pass the conformance
testing done by DoD?
Thanks,
