The ability of systems to
interoperate while using the iWARP protocol suite is
a well understood requirement for market acceptance of the technology. Since an
improper implementation of the iWARP protocol opens
the door to the possibility of silent data corruption, rigorous testing must be
in place to ensure that devices properly implement the protocol. This level of verification is difficult to
achieve using standard system and interoperability procedures. Verification
technology was needed that would enable developers to identify failures in
their implementations in the context of specific lower layer protocol
conditions. The industry banded together during 2004 to enable the development
of verification tools that would provide the detailed testing required by the iWARP community. This paper discusses these tools, the
reasoning behind them, what has been achieved to date, and the work that still
needs to be done.
