SDN Test Plans
The test plans on this page may be downloaded and used for internal purposes only. The test plans may not be commercialized in any way without express permission of the UNH-IOL.
The SDN testing service currently offers the following test plans. These documents are constantly being updated to improve readability and to reflect the current specifications. Please contact us if you would like more information or have questions about the SDN testing service.
When testing based on the following test plans is performed, all reports generated will be digitally signed using an Adobe digital certificate. Upon reception of the report, the recipient can verify its authenticity using our document validation instructions.

- Abstract
- This Test Plan describes a set of tests to exercise either the Sender or Receiver role of the DCTCP. These tests are designed to be run using a packet generator/protocol analyzer against an isolated DUT (Device, or implementation, Under Test).

- Abstract
- The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-Autonomous System routing protocol. The primary function of a BGP speaking system is to exchange network reachability information with other BGP systems. This includes information on the list of Autonomous Systems (ASs) that reachability information traverses. From this, a graph of AS connectivity is constructed from which routing loops may be pruned and some policy decisions at the AS level may be enforced.

- Abstract
- OSPF is a link-state routing protocol. It is designed to be run internal to a single Autonomous System. Each OSPF router maintains an identical database describing the Autonomous System's topology. From this database, a routing table is calculated by constructing a shortest-path tree.

- Abstract
- This suite of tests is intended to help implementers evaluate the functionality of their products that support RIPng, the next generation routing information protocol. This suite is designed to test interoperability of the device under test with other RIPng capable devices. These tests cover RFCs 2080 and 2460.

- Abstract
- PIM-SM is a multicast routing protocol that uses an underlying topology-gathering unicast protocol to populate a routing table with routes; it is independent of which protocol is actually used. In Sparse Mode, the number of routers with attached group members is small with respect to the total number of routers; group members are widely dispersed. PIM-SM is often deployed in Multicast WAN scenarios.

- Abstract
- VRRPv3 specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRPv3 routers on a LAN. The VRRPv3 router controlling the IP address(es) associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets transmitted to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic fail over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. This allows any of the virtual router IP addresses on the LAN to be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRPv3 is a higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host.

- Abstract
- This suite of tests has been developed to help implementers evaluate the functioning of their Border Gateway Protocol 4 (from now on referred to as BGP) products. This test suite has been designed to test interoperability of a device under test with other BGP based products. This test suite focuses on testing configurations of the network that could cause problems when deployed if the device under test does not operate properly with the devices that it is connected to. The tests do not determine if a product conforms to the BGP specification, but they are designed as interoperability tests. These tests provide one method to isolate problems within the BGP capable device that will affect the interoperability performance. Successful completion of all tests contained in this suite does not guarantee that the tested device will operate with other BGP capable devices. However, these tests do provide a reasonable level of confidence that the RUT will function well in most BGP environments.

- Abstract
- This suite of tests has been developed to help implementers evaluate the functionality of their products that support OSPF. This test suite focuses on testing the Interoperability of the DUT with other OSPF devices. The tests do not determine if a product conforms to the specifications that define OSPF, but they are designed as interoperability tests. Successful completion of all tests contained in this suite does not guarantee that the tested device will operate with all other OSPF devices in any scenario. However, these tests provide a reasonable level of confidence that the DUT will function well in most OSPF environments.
