Abstract:

 This paper examines the applicability of OSI conformance test methodology to Internet protocols. It summarizes the differences between them and introduces the Internet Reference Model along with a new abstract test method, which was designed for the practical purposes of conformance testing of TCP/IP protocols. Some interesting test cases and points, that were chosen from RIP, demonstrate the facilities of the model and give impression of testing Internet protocols.
