Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) W. Wang Request for Comments: 6984 Zhejiang Gongshang University Updates: 6053 K. Ogawa Category: Informational NTT Corporation ISSN: 2070-1721 E. Haleplidis University of Patras M. Gao Hangzhou BAUD Networks J. Hadi Salim Mojatatu Networks August 2013 Interoperability Report for Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) Abstract This document captures the results of the second Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) interoperability test that took place on February 24-25, 2011, in the Internet Technology Lab (ITL) at Zhejiang Gongshang University, China. The results of the first ForCES interoperability test were reported in RFC 6053, and this document updates RFC 6053 by providing further interoperability results.
