collated in Table 1 at the end of the document, and this table
constitutes a measure of the DUA. The metrics are on a section by
section basis, which should help the reader who is seeking, for
example, a DUA with good management capabilities which runs on a wide
variety of platforms, to focus on the critical aspects of a DUA for
the particular requirement.
2. General Information
This section contains general information about the implementation
under discussion.
1. Name of the implementation ......................................
2. Version number of the DUA described in this document ............
3. Are further versions planned? [3 if yes] .......................

run. Some DUAs are split into a user interface part, and a DUA
server part, communicating by means of a protocol. If the DUA is
of the type where the DUA protocol machinery and user agent are
implemented in a single process, complete only the user interface
section, and indicate "n/a" for the DUA server and
communications protocol questions.
