Untested Features

Due to the bugs in the basic QOS support, final testing of the additional basic QOS features, import and export policy was not completed for release 2.0.0 of IDRP with QOS. The additional basic features of QOS that need testing are:

A "html" based document for the Version 2.0 are listed in /doc/idrp_tests directory in the main_tests.html.

Documenation

Original postscript documentation for the design document (version 4.0) and the idrp syntax document(4.1) is provided in /doc/idrp/docs.

An HTML version of the "idrp" protocol command, import, and export protocol sequences are available in the /doc/idrp_tests/idrp_stmt.html file . A HTML version of the design document is being developed and will be released as part of the bug release for this 2.0.0 version by 12/3/95.

Test Tool for IDRP

To aid debugging of the policy code, MERIT developed a test tool. The documentation for this is in ./doc/idrp_test/tester/scripts/test.guide.
