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.
