Abstract

This document describes the work that was done to accomplish the task of developing and automating interoperability tests for The ATM Forum's network routing specification, Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) version 1.0. It describes what interoperability means in this context and how it is to be implemented in a test environment. It also describes in detail the programs, filters, and capturing mechanisms for recording and processing the observed information. It explains the actual tests that were developed and the results of using these tests on a sampling of ATM switches implementing the PNNI protocol.
