Re: Experience with Online Protocol Testing

For SCTP we did a number of interoperability tests, which were
face to face meetings and the people who were developing stacks
we there. This events were always very helpful not only for improving
the stacks but also for improving the IETF documents.
I also developed a test tool for conformance testing based on some
test descriptions provided by ETSI. However, it would have made sense to
specify also some tests within the IETF. That can also help to clarify
some protocol aspects and to focus on "common mistakes".
Providing tests is a very good thing in my experience. Unfortunately,
at the point we did this for SCTP, the IETF position was that testing
isn't an objective. Maybe it is time to change that...

Best regards

I guess the code you wrote for your online test cases was your own work and you 
didn't re-use some else's test framework? 
The SCTP case is also a bit simpler than the OAuth scenario since in SCTP might 
have only tested client-server interactions (right?)
