About IOL vIOLett® 802.1 Core Test Software

To meet the needs of its higher layer protocol based conformance testing, we have developed custom test software, IOL vIOLett® 802.1 Core Edition. These packages offer automated protocol conformance testing and analysis at layer 2 of Ethernet.

Designed for the Tester

The vIOLett® software has a client/server modular design that allows for the simple addition or removal of defined protocol and modules types. Simply drop in a test module application and you are ready to start pre-testing your implementation. The modular design also goes one step further by automatically capturing and logging each test result. Designed for test cases to be run in batch automated style or running selected test cases to quickly resolve a potential issue.

Bringing Implementations to Market Faster

The IOL vIOLett® 802.1 Core Edition packages are the same set of tools used for testing in our Ethernet Switching Protocols (ESP) Testing Services. Internal testing allows your company to resolve issues in advance of sending your products in for official testing at the IOL. This will help implementations obtain reports faster and get them into your customer's hands.
