Implementation Report for RFCs 4930-4934
=======================================================================

This report summarizes the results of implementation testing of the
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) as originally specified in
RFCs 4930, 4931, 4932, 4933, and 4934 and updated in Internet-Drafts
4930bis, 4931bis, 4932bis, 4933bis, and 4934bis.  Primary test
participants included two client implementers (DotRegistrar and Key
Systems) and three server implementers (Afilias, NeuStar, and
VeriSign).  Additional tests were performed using a client developed
by Patrick Mevzek of "Dot and Co" (http://www.dotandco.com/) and a
server developed by the .se ccTLD registry.

SUMMARY:
All of the features described in the table were implemented by at
least two implementers.  In addition to the clients and servers
for whom results have been formally documented in this report, Patrick
Mevzek has reported [1] that the following top-level domain registries
have implemented EPP:

aero, fr, ag, si, asia, at, au, be, biz, br, bz, cat, la, cx, gs, tl,
ki, ms, mu, nf, ht, na, coop, cz, eu, hn, co.cz, info, it, lc, lu, me,
mn, mobi, name, uk, no, nl, nu, org, pl (over HTTPS), pro, pt, sc, se,
ch, li, travel, us, vc, com, net, cc, tv, jobs, es (over HTTPS), cn,
tw, im, cl, ac, sh, io, tm, in, i.3.4.e164.arpa (infrastructure ENUM
in Austria),

NOTE: transport over https is not described in an IETF specification.
Implementations have been developed and documented locally, outside of
the IETF process.

Mandatory and optional protocol features are described in the table
below.  Table rows represent features.  Table columns represent
client-server interactions.  A successful client-server test is
represented with an "X".  At least one "X" must be present in each
row to document successful implementation of a feature in at least
two independent implementations.

---------------

Key:
 D-C: DotRegistrar Client
 K-C: Key Systems Client
 A-S: Afilias Server
 N-S: NeuStar Server
 V-S: VeriSign Server
 
 "X": Feature implemented and tested by both client and server.
 "*": Feature implemented by server, but not tested by client.
 "-": Feature not implemented or not tested.

New client-server identification requirements were added to RFC 4934
(see section 9 of 4934bis) during the review process for promotion to
Full Standard.  These requirements have been implemented in the
following clients and servers (email for confirming person included):

Clients:
  Dot and Co (Patrick Mevzek <provreg@contact.dotandco.com>)
  Power Netz (M. Schwarz <schwarz@power-netz.de>)

Servers:
  VeriSign (James Gould <jgould@verisign.com>)
  Registro.br (Frederico A C Neves <fneves@registro.br>)

At least one "X" is required in each row of the table above to confirm
that a feature was tested using two independently-developed
implementations.  The table does not fully describe the testing of the
"OPTIONAL "roid" attribute" feature documented in RFC 4931 and 4931bis.
This feature was independently tested using the client developed by
"Dot and Co" and the server developed by the .se ccTLD registry; the
other features listed in the table were not completely tested by these
two implementations.

It is my professional opinion that the document set has been
implemented such that "significant implementation and successful
operational experience has been obtained" as described in section 4.1.3
of RFC 2026.  The documents are ready to be published as Full Standards.
