Implementation Report for RFCs 3730-3734
=======================================================================

This report summarizes the results of implementation testing of the
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) as originally specified in
RFCs 3730, 3731, 3732, 3733, and 3734 and updated in Internet-Drafts
3730bis, 3731bis, 3732bis, 3733bis, and 3734bis.  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.

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.

SUMMARY:
All of the features described in the table were implemented by at
least two implementers.

EPP Test Matrix
---------------

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.

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 3731 and 3731bis.
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.
