I recall ones for SNMPv2 (various flavors), AgentX, and SNMPv3. One might quibble about whether they were organized by the working group, or whether it was just a mighty coincidence that people from companies with employees who attended these working groups hashed out mutual NDAs and held bake-offs to verify that their implementations could interoperate, as well as experiments over the open Internet. > but I hope my misunderstanding doesn't distract us from seeking to make this > one succeed or, at least, making it a meaningful "experiment" rather than one > pretty much guaranteed to fail... Sometimes the result of an experiment is a demonstration that something doesn't always work, which can help prove that a theory is incorrect. > d/ > > ps. it has even occurred to me that the hidden agenda here is to demonstrate > to the IETF just how poor Internet-wide support of v6 is...
