Title
The IS-IS Multi-Party Conformance Test System
Abstract
Results from the design and implementation of a test system for the Open Systems Interconnection Intermediate-System to Intermediate-System Intra-Domain Routing Exchange protocol (IS-IS) are presented. The IS-IS protocol presents unique testing challenges since it does not include an upper interface; testing is also complicated by the protocol's use of concurrent associations. The test architecture is based on the Multi-Party Testing Methodology defined in the Conformance Testing Methodology and Framework of the International Standards Organization. The implementation strategy employs the Estelle formal description technique and Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) tools developed by the Computer System Laboratory, An Estelle description of the routing protocol has been developed and augmented to support testing requirements. The Estelle tools are employed to generate C++ code and to implement the test system. Test cases are described using ASN.1. The ASN.1 tools are used to map the test directives into Estelle input events. The routing protocol prototype test system has been used successfully in tests with commercial products at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
