Talk to the USAGI folks. They have something similar to ANVL called TAHI that they use to check compliance in IPV4, IPV6 and IPSEC.

Create competition for them - it is the easiest way to get them motivated. cheers, jamal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
