Hi,

one important question back to the days where iLBC was submitted to the IETF was: how do we know whether iLBC is a technical sound contribution to the IETF?

The draft http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-hoene-codec-quality-00.pdf addresses this question in the context of this WG. The first chapters describe well established procedures on how to test a codec (and goes a bit beyond that where needed). Finally, Chapter 10 suggests a procedure on how to test IIAC (or Opus). 

Timely feedback is welcomed as the testing shall start soon.

With best regards,

 Christian
