A Cloud-Based Test Architecture for IPv6 SNMPv3 Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

Since the Internet will migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 in the near future. There are many test methods to validate the IPv6 operation environment. Today, most of the IPv6 SNMPv3 test bed is both expensive and location restricted. This paper proposes an improved test method that can provide cloud-based service for the validation of IPv6 SNMPv3 agent. The proposed test architecture consists of two elements: Test broker and Test engine. Test broker as a negotiator between SNMPv3 agent, while Test engine is commissioned to create and manage test operations. Also, Test engine is delegated to perform test methodology on the SNMPv3 agent with IPv6 capabilities. This test service can be used anytime and anywhere to verify the selected IPv6 SNMPv3 agent no matter where it is located in the IPv6 world.
