Guidelines for the Evaluation of File Transfer, Access and Management Implementations

摘要

The document advances the goals of the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP) by providing guidelines for evaluating File Transfer, Access and Management (FTAM) implementations. These guidelines can assist a user in determining which implementation, among several candidates, will best meet the functional and performance requirements of that user. Specifically, the document contains: (1) guidelines for evaluating the functional specifications of FTAM implementations, (2) guidelines for measuring the performance of FTAM implementations, and (3) guidelines for matching the functional and performance specifications of an FTAM implementation to the functional and performance requirements of the user.
