and types of interfaces. The set of functional tests was divided into two parts:compulsory (unconditionally required) and informative (verification of the implementationof new characteristics, e.g., IPv6). Each applicant was required topresent a set of two routers of the pertinent type (simulation of two GigaPoPs),together with technical support. Within the scope of the compulsory testing, wechecked the following functions and characteristics:• Presentation of router management and configuration, basic features andcharacteristics,• Insertion of routers into the GTDMS measurement system and verificationof supported SNMP MIB,• Configuration of NetFlow and NetFlow export, functionality check,• Verification of the function and compatibility of 802.1Q, including the possibilityof filtration and QoS on logical sub-interfaces,• Load ballancing on interfaces into the backbone network (Gigabit Ethernetand POS STM-16),• MPLS (OSPFv2, BGPv4, LDP)– Configuration of approx. four MPLS VPNs among the tested routersand central OSR 7609, functionality check,– Checking of MPLS Traffic Engineering,– Implementation and verification of the MPLS QoS function in VPN,– MPLS according to the DiffServ model,– Configuration of service categories (Premium, Gold, Best Effort),– Verification of possible re-mapping of the ToS IP header (e.g., DSCP, IPprecedence) from/to the CoS/priority of 802.1Q frame header• Multicast– Creation of independent multicast domains,– Configuration of sparse-mode, MBGP and MSDP against backbonerouter,– Verification of the multicast function using system tools and the testsources/recipients,• Router management– Verification of the possibilities for secure access, storage of configurationsand operating systems,– Execution of a safety audit,– Verification of the quality of management support – SNMP MIB (GT-DMS, HP OpenView 6.2),– Effects of the frequency of queries on the processor load,– Monitoring of individual functions and processes, and methods oftroubleshooting,– Tests of general features (start-up time, redundancy)26 High-speed National Research Network and its New Applications 2002
