Third party certifications for LB

Hi List,
   Are there any third party certifications for the load balancers?

I came across Tolly group which conducts tests when the vendor requests
them.
That too, Tolly group just concentrates on a given set of tests and will not
cover entire box and features wide.
And there is Gartner group classifying the lbs into magic quadrants based on
the feature set but does not depend on the test results.

The LB market lacks a genuine third party certification like NSS for
Intrusion prevention systems.

The third party certifications will help the customers to choose the best LB
based on the performance and test results rather than carried away with the
feature rich and marketing terminology.

Let me know if you come across such certifications or call up the need with
your reason for the certification of LB devices.

Thanks,
-Ravi Chunduru
