RFC 1431                      DUA Metrics                  February 1993


   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] .......................

   4.  Name and address of supplier or person to contact ...............
    ....................................................................
    ....................................................................
    ....................................................................
    ....................................................................
    ....................................................................

   5.  Describe the hardware and software platforms on which the DUA will
       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.

      (a)  User interface part [1 per platform, up to a maximum of 4]

           i.  Hardware (If appropriate, can summarise as, for example,

          ii.  O/S (state version if critical)

               A.  UNIX (be sure to indicate which flavour - e.g., SYSV,
                   BSD, SUNOS, etc) ....................................
