router-test-kit 0.1.0

A framework for remotely testing routers, physical or virtual.

Router Test Kit

The motivation for this project is to provide a simple and out-of-the-box, easy-to-use framework for testing (virtual) routers. Initially, the framework was designed to work with OneOS6 routers from OneAccess Networks. It is based on a telnet connection, therefore it is compatible with CISCO routers, Ubuntu Server images etc.

Description

Virtual Router Test Kit is a Python framework for testing routers. It is based on a telnet connection (py-package: telnetlib). The framework is designed to be simple and easy to use, with a focus on the most common operations that are performed on a router.

The project is inspired based on the OneOS6 devices of OneAccess Networks (very similar to CISCO), but it is not limited by them. It has been extended to support Ubuntu Server images, and it can be easily extended to support other devices as well, as long as they support a telnet connection.

The easiest way to try it out is to set up two (or more) Virtual Machines and interact with them with the help of this framework. Examples of that, basic and complex, are shown in the Examples section.
