Dear all,

This is to announce that we have completed the third phase of development of
a Java implementation of OWAMP. We added two new versions (1.2  and 2.1 ) of
our implementation to the J-OWAMP web site. The current version of J-OWAMP
(version 2.1 ) implements the December 2004 draft proposal of OWAMP (
<http://www.internet2.edu/~shalunov/ippm/draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-14.txt>
http://www.internet2.edu/~shalunov/ippm/draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-14.txt). The
previous versions of J-OWAMP (versions 1.0 and 1.2) implement the May 2004
draft proposal of OWAMP (
<http://www.internet2.edu/~shalunov/ippm/draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-08.txt>
http://www.internet2.edu/~shalunov/ippm/draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-08.txt).  

On the new versions:

*	J-OWAMP includes a NTP client which can be used to get the time
reference directly from a NTP server, without the requirement of a
synchronized clock on the machine hosting J-OWAMP;

*	The user can choose the local IP address to bind to. This address
can be used on a multi-homed host for an OWAMP element that will only accept
connection requests to one of its addresses. If not defined, it will by
default accept connections on any/all local addresses;

*	some others improvements were made.

You can find more information on this platform in

Any comments are welcome.

Best regards.
