It's common for a college student to have some sort of job. But how many of them actually enjoy what they do? How many have positions that relate to what they want to do in the future? I am one of the lucky few that can say I look forward to coming to work each day, to a job that is preparing me for the future. The InterOperability Lab (IOL) is a place where students, like myself, can explore cutting edge communication technologies, while interacting with world leaders in the industry. As students, we are encouraged to learn and absorb as much information and skills as we can during our short tenure at the Lab. Whether it's reading specifications, writing test suites, testing products, or creating test tools, the full spectrum of any technology is explored.

Throughout the testing process, several device topologies are incorporated to observe behavior in a collection of scenarios. Since the technology is still in a relatively early stage, the protocols defining its implementation are subject to change. As a result, this creates a small set of complications that must be addressed in order to successfully carry out the testing procedure.
