Mitre-Bedford is about to commence and an operational experiment of
interconnecting as many hosts and TCP implementations that we can gain access
to in an effort to demonstrate and test vendor compatibility and performance
of various implementation strageties.

The interconnection will be over Ethernet (Broadband, Baseband and Fiber
segments) tied together by Applitek bridges.

I am soliciting suggestions as to the types of tests the TCP/IP community
would like to see run as well as performance benchmark or compatibility
tests that may already exist that we can have.

Thanks
Stan Ames
