IPv6自动化测试平台——AIOT6的开发与实现

IPv6 Automatic Interop Testing Tool-AIOT6

IPv6互通性测试是对不同厂商的设备在IPv6环境下能否正常通信进行验证,它在下一代互联网IPv6部署中扮演着非常重要的角色。自动化是测试的趋势。本文介绍了一种IPv6自动化互通性测试平台——AIOT6,它是一种可以自动执行IPv6互通性测试的工具,结构上分为测试管理器6Manager、网络通信代理6Agent和命令执行器6Command 3个部分;功能上AIOT6可以实现自动化命令执行和自动化配置。使用该工具,可以自动完成ping6、ifconfig等命令的发放以及对测试环境中各个节点的自动配置。

IPv6 interoperability test plays an important role in IPv6 deployment. It verifies whether devices of different vendors could support trans-network functionality in IPv6 environment. Moreover, automatic test is the trend of testing. Therefore, IPv6 automatic interop testing tool-AIOT6 was introduced. AIOT6 is an automatic interoperability test execution tool. According to the structure of the tool, it can be divided into 6Manager, 6Agent and 6Command. AIOT6 has two major functionalities: automatic command execution and automatic configuration. By applying AIOT6, commands such as ping6, ifconfig, etc., can be automatically executed and node configuration can be automatically performed.
