Testing of the proposed solution

In order to demonstrate that the solution implemented works, I had to test the different aspects of the RSVP protocol. The functions tested were the parsing of RSVP messages and the behaviour of the switch control when connections have to be made or deleted.

I used a simple simulated network shown in figure . The control architecture is managing an ATM switch. Three hosts and another ATM switch are connected to it. Two more hosts are connected to the other switch.

The control architecture is run, managing the simulated switch with the IP address 101.0.0.1. The RSVP message generator is used to simulate messages sent to the switch by the other devices.

The following tests were made:
