Codenomicon IS-IS Test Tool Data Sheet
- Test tool: Codenomicon IS-IS Test Tool
- Direction: Server
- Tagline: More Dependable IS-IS Routing
Codenomicon IS-IS Test Tool helps developers and testers search for security vulnerabilities in IS-IS routing protocol implementations efficiently and cost-effectively. Proactive vulnerability discovery results in significant cost savings in development and maintenance and produces more stable systems that your end users can trust.
IS-IS (OSI Intra-Domain IS-IS Routing Protocol) is a routing protocol originally specified for OSI/ISO networks, subsequently appropriated for use in the Internet. It is commonly used as an interior gateway protocol (IGP) to convey routing information inside an autonomous system (AS).
