With significantly increased trend in the use of IP and Ethernet based technologies across all applications, the need for the communications devices used for deployment of these applications to be reliable and interoperable has become greater.

Net-O₂ ATTEST conformance and functional test suites have been used to test IP and Ethernet based solutions to address Enterprise & Workgroup, Data center, Carrier Ethernet, Multi-service and Industrial Ethernet segments.

Enterprise & Workgroup: For testing applications in the enterprise and workgroup segments, ATTEST test suites verify the following protocols: STP, RSTP, MSTP, VLAN, 802.1x, LACP, LLDP, PPP, IPv4/ IPv6, DHCP, RIP, OSPF, PIM-SM/DM and IGMP.

Data center: Providers of equipment for the data center who are implementing IP and 10G Ethernet support may use ATTEST test suites to verify the following protocols: RSTP, MSTP, VLAN, LACP, IPv4/ IPv6, OSPF, PIM-SM/DM and IGMP.

Carrier Ethernet: Providers of equipment for the Carrier Ethernet market may use ATTEST test suites verify protocols such as: CFM, EFM-OAM, STP, RSTP, MSTP, VLAN and LACP.

Multi-service / Edge: Multi-service access, edge and provisioning products integrate Layer 2 switching with Layer 3 switching and services to support data, voice, and video traffic. Protocols that can be verified by ATTEST test suites include: STP, RSTP, MSTP, VLAN, LACP, PPP, IPv4/ IPv6, DHCP, RIP, OSPF, BFD, PIM-SM/DM, IGMP.

Industrial Ethernet: For testing applications in the Industrial Ethernet, ATTEST test suites verify the following: STP, RSTP, MSTP, VLAN, 802.1x, LACP, LLDP, PPP, IPv4 / IPv6, DHCP, RIP, OSPF, PIM-SM/DM and IGMP.
