IPv4 Test Suite Data Sheet
- Test Suite: IPv4 Test Suite
- Direction: Server
- Platform: D3
- Tagline: Dependability and Reliability for the Internet
Estimates show that up to 800-900 million people depend on
IPv4 for their daily communications needs. Since the inception
of the Internet, IPv4 has assumed an unprecedented importance
in the global scale. IPv4 implementations are found in almost
all modern computer systems. This includes routers, switches,
firewalls, desktop and server systems, laptops, PDAs, cell
phones and other mobile systems, as well as a large number of
various embedded systems. All of these devices are vulnerable
to exploitation through externally-supplied malformed protocol
data. Effects of malicious data range from transient parsing
errors to complete system takeovers.
As IPv4 and its associated protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP,
ARP) are in an extremely crucial role in modern society, the
dependability and reliability of IPv4 implementations must be
verified. IPv4 implementations are often tightly coupled with
the underlying operating system, which means that serious
flaws in IPv4 protocol handling may easily result in total
system compromises. Codenomicon IPv4 Test Tools help prevent
this by making IPv4 implementations more robust.
