Working Group Summary
There is consensus in the WG to publish this document.
Protocol Quality
The LoST protocol has been implemented during the
development of the specification. Two public implementations
are available and other company-internal implementations
have been reported to the chairs. Tests have been performed
between two public implementations and useful feedback was
provided to the working group.
The LoST specification has experienced extensive review,
including reviews by other SDOs. The protocol is an important
building block in the NENA i3 architecture.
