The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a routing protocol based on the distance vector algorithm. It is intended for use within moderate-sized Autonomous Systems (maximum diameter of 15 hops). RIPv2 provides extensions to RIP to support additional functionalities such as RIP message authentication, variable length subnetting and IP multicasting.
Net-O2 ATTEST RIP test cases perform conformance testing for the protocol processing functionality of the DUT, including the sending of Request / Response messages and routing table updation. The RIP-related timer handling behavior of the DUT is also tested.
Tests also verify RIP v1/v2 interoperability and the protocol extension for RIPv2. In addition, the test cases verify the packet formats, the handling of invalid RIP PDUs and the data forwarding behavior of the
DUT.
Net-O2 also offers IP and OSPF test suites for conformance testing of Layer 3 unicast functionality 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.
