Mike,

You can look at all the NCAP transcripts for source material beyond what’s already written in the NCAP report, to get a better idea of what is likely to happen at such an evaluation. 

But in short, what you are asking is unfeasible due to the nature of the phenomenon. While this is not related to the number of devices on the Internet (currently nearing 20 billion), this is related to the number of device types (maker, model, version) and different configurations of such devices. It’s a matrix that easily gets to the millions range.

Hi Gavin, thanks for clarifying.  Personally I find that answer very unsatisfactory, because the impact on the applicant will be very severe, and there is no clarity at this point as to what criteria the evaluator will consider and what guidelines they will have in applying those criteria.

There is no challenge mechanism for individual strings, but the external evaluator will produce a report outlining its methodology and findings, which will undergo Public Comment.

Gavin.
