Spirent Tests SDN/OpenFlow

December 05, 2012 |

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Spirent Communications, the leader in network, services and devices testing, today announced that it has joined forces with Indiana University’s Software Defined Networking (SDN)/OpenFlow research organization,InCNTRE to develop the conformance test suites within OFTest, an open source based test solution for OpenFlow networks. This joint effort, coupled with Spirent TestCenter OpenFlow performance testing solution, helps drive the cost-effective adoption and acceleration of SDN and OpenFlow.

With support from Spirent, InCNTRE researchers developed conformance test suites for OFTest, a Python-based conformance-testing framework, built on Open Networking Foundation’s (ONF) OpenFlow standards. OFTest has been designed to test the conformance of Ethernet switches in high-security and IP-based mobile networks. Spirent iTest, an integrated test authoring and execution solution built for testers, developers and automation teams, is providing automation support for OFTest.
