How “real” are IPDR.org standards?
IPDR.org has been in existence since 1999 and more than a dozen vendors have actual IPDR implementations “etched in code”. Their systems are actually able to talk to each other and interoperate. Version 2.5 and up of the NDM-U represents a stable basis for development. IPDR.org’s Interoperability Pavilion is a working demonstration of multiple companies exchanging service usage data in that format.
