The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol is based on
link-state or Shortest Path First technology. OSPF is a
dynamic protocol that quickly detects and responds to
topological changes in the Autonomous System (AS),
involving a minimum amount of routing traffic. Further,
OSPF routing exchanges can be authenticated to provide
routing security.
Net-O2 ATTEST OSPF test cases perform conformance testing of the formation and maintenance of adjacencies over multi-access networks. Tests also verify the synchronization of link state databases, the flooding procedure and the route calculation for the OSPF spanning tree.
The test cases verify the Interface State Machine and Neighbor State Machine functionality. In addition, the handling of virtual links and the generation of LS Advertisements and LS Acknowledgements are tested for conformance with the Standard.
Net-O2 also offers RIP and IP test suites for conformance testing of IP in Routers and Switches. Multicast test suites such as IGMP and PIM and Layer-2 bridging test suites such as
RSTP, MSTP and VLAN are also available.
