It would be really nice to get one of the consumer PC rags to pick up this story - an easy-to-interpret compliance label would be even better. If the consumer rags would refuse to recommend a non-compliant box, maybe vendors have some incentive to read the RFCs.
I assume IPv6 tests are planned? This illustrates that the Internet experience will be increasingly driven by the laziness of equipment vendors, rather than anything the IETF can standardize. There does not appear to be any functioning feedback loop to accelerate convergence to reasonable behavior. Henning On Jun 3, 2010, at 3:53 AM, Yoav Nir wrote: > Hi Lars > > Great study.
