Well, you’re welcome to your opinion. :-) The basic set of constraints seem very straightforward and, as always, operators are likely to lab test their configurations before a production deployment. If FlexAlgo really takes off, it would imply that the vendors have good interoperability of those basic constraints. > But the question is - Can we do a bit better and help to standardize most > useful flex-algos to make their deployment easier cross vendor ? Short of creating a worldwide authoritarian government with you as its benevolent dictator, what would you propose? :-) There have been many prior attempts to ensure compliance and interoperability. There have been test suites and compliance statements. All of it has proven to be of dubious value. What has worked? Actual interoperability testing where developers sit down and test. Today, that role seems to be primarily fulfilled by EANTC and FlexAlgo is already tested there.
