Interoperability test

• 4 interoperable devices(*1) from other vendors including 2 hosts and 2 routers.
• The interoperability test report is required.

(*1) 4 interoperable devices should be different. Different devices have different software origins and knowledge of this resides in the public domain. If devices have the same software origins, they are not "different".

1. The devices are not "different" if they contain the same stack on different hardware platforms. This may cause slight variation in software behavior, but it will not vary enough to be defined as "different".
   

   Example:
   ROUTER: OS-A on Vendor-A PC
   ROUTER: OS-A on Vendor-B PC
   HOST: OS-A on Vendor-C PC
   HOST: OS-A on Vendor-D PC

2. The devices are not "different" if they contain the same stack on different operating systems or operating system versions. This may cause slight variation in software behavior, but it will not vary enough to be defined as "different".

   Example1:
   ROUTER: OS-A Version.A
   ROUTER: OS-A Version.B
   HOST: OS-A Version.C
   HOST: OS-A Version.D
   
   Example2:
   ROUTER: OS-A Version.A
   ROUTER: OS-A Version.B
   HOST: OS-B Version.A
   HOST: OS-B Version.B
   
   Example3:
   ROUTER: Kame Stack on NetBSD
   ROUTER: Kame Stack on FreeBSD
   HOST: Usagi Stack on Linux
   HOST: Kame Stack on OpenBSD
   

3. Devices may be "different" if they contain an embeded component. Some devices may be "different" if they contain a software stack that was integrated onto 2 different types of hardware where the origins are not distinguishable. In this case it will be assumed that the systems in question are "different" unless the knowledge that they come from the same software stack is in the public domain.
