  • Network testing device for automated topology validation
    Patent number: 10263850
    Abstract: A network testing device is provided in order to validate network topology information and test various other attributes of a network. The network testing device may, in response to a command, obtain connection information from a network indicated in the command. The connection information may be compared to network topology information corresponding to the network. The network topology information may indicate which interfaces of a network device should be to be connected to which interfaces of other network devices. The network testing device may then return, in response to the command, a result of the comparison. Furthermore, the network testing device may return result of other network test performed by the network testing device on the network device.

  • Routing loop for testing a communication link
    Patent number: 10063452
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing a communication link are disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a routing loop is established between two devices connected by the communication link, and data is routed between the two devices over the communication link. One or more performance measures of the communication link are obtained based at least in part on the data routing. The one or more performance measures are then used to determine whether the communication link is defective.
