1This is a test framework for the ospfd routing daemon. For each 2test one fresh daemon is started with an individual config. It is 3talking OSPF via a tap interface. At the process side of the tap 4device a client is running. This test programm is parsing the OSPF 5packets and generates new ones. It simulates other OSPF daemons. 6 7For now only hello packets are tested. Each test has a task list 8which drives the ospfd through its interface state machine. The 9plan is to extend the framework for the other OSPF packet types and 10state machines. Eventualy the generated kernel routing messages 11could also be checked. 12
