InterWorking Labs

 

InterWorking Labs creates innovative products to measure, characterize, and debug next generation network devices in enterprise communications networks. They specialize in developing Internet standard conformance testing solutions for network hardware and software manufacturers. There innovative products are deployed to test network protocol implementation for correct operation under adverse conditions. Developers, IT managers, and test engineers use the products to find and fix bugs in network devices.

 

 

The IWL products are briefed as follows :

 

SilverCreek
It is a software product designed to test implementation of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and standard and private MIBs. It uses small single function tests to exercise number of parameters. The Semantic tests verify performance, trap, alert, event handling, counter accuracy, security. The syntactic tests verify protocol compliance, error and exception handling.

 

Boreal
Boreal, the SNMP Vulnerability Test Suite, allows network administrators and testers to verify the robustness of each of their network devices in the face of packet decoding vulnerabilities. Boreal includes more than 700,000 vulnerability test cases for SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 agents. It can also automatically test all the network devices through an automated command line script.

 

Maxwell
Maxwell provides network, protocol, and packet level impairments, for real-world network emulations in the lab.
