NTP PICS PROFORMA
For the Network Time Protocol Version 3

Status of this Memo

This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

This RFC describes a PICS Proforma translated into an Internet
acceptable form. The Original document was developed according to
ISO 9646 for conformance test purposes. This document is intended
for both developers and users of the NTP (Network Time Protocol).
This document contains specific information and performance
characteristics for the use of NTP within the context of Internet
usage. It is suggested, that users wishing to use the
synchronization capabilities of the Internet abide by the
characteristics set within this document.

For more information please contact Dr. David Mills at Mills@udel.edu
or review RFC 1305 for more information.

1. INTRODUCTION

To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is
necessary to have a statement of the capabilities and options that
have been implemented for a given protocol. Such a statement is
called a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).

2. SCOPE

This document provides the PICS proforma for the Network Time
Protocol (NTP) in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in
accordance with the relevant guidance, given in ISO/IEC 9646-2.

3. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

ISO/IEC 9646-1 1990, Information technology - Open systems
interconnection - Conformance testing
methodology and framework - Part 1: General
concepts.

4. DEFINITIONS

This document uses the following terms defined in ISO/IEC 9646-1:

a) PICS proforma;

b) Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS);

c) Static conformance review.

4.1 SPECIAL SYMBOLS

The additional symbols have been identified for use in this document:

m Mandatory field/function

o.# Optional field/function

c# Conditional field/function

# Refers to a note # below the table

N[] Indicates the item is not implemented

5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF PICS

The supplier of a protocol implementation which is claimed to conform
to NTP version 3 is required to complete a copy of the PICS proforma
provided in this document and is required to provide the information
necessary to identify both the supplier and the implementation.
