This paper reviews the impact on network interoperability with protocol errors, the lack of sufficient testing prior to deployment, the role of the U.S. Government with protocol testing, a review of network protocol testing for interoperability versus conformance, and steps you can take to protect your environment.

Protocol testing is a critical step in the development of any network product, as it ensures that the product conforms to industry standards and interoperates reliably in real-world scenarios. However, the protocol testing process can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. This paper explores options and alternatives for making the protocol testing process more efficient, requiring less times, resources, and staff.

Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) is now more popular than UDP for a variety of applications. The SilverCreek SNMP Test Suite is no longer limited to UDP, so you can use SilverCreek to test your full implementation over your preferred transport protocol…

How are you measuring your network’s performance? One can have a very fast network, but get very little throughput, with very high perceived delays…If you are using a tool, such as iperf, to measure throughput, the results can be quite deceptive. That's because iperf displays effective throughput of data at the transport layer, and thus masks what is actually going on underneath …

IWL Products are NOT Affected by Log4j Vulnerability, disclosed by Apache. Log4j allows attackers to execute code remotely on a target computer, meaning that they can steal data, install malware or take control …

ICS-CERT (Industrial Control System – Computer Emergency Response Team) is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Recently CERT issued two Advisories concerning TCP/IP implementation flaws that have existed for years, perhaps decades and are now being found in embedded systems …

A SonicWall user recently came to us for help; the user felt the problem was within SIP and UDP. Here are some thoughts and ideas we provided to help him with his SIP diagnosis.

SIP is a somewhat troublesome protocol. The basic SIP transactions flow with a well known UDP port number. That makes it relatively easy for a firewall to allow (or disallow) the SIP protocol itself …

Prior to planning or funding 5G rollouts, technology implementers must rigorously question 5G claims and look for substantiated evidence. IWL issued a caution today that some of the claims made by investors in 5G technology are exaggerated or lead to overly-naïve conclusions …
