Unit Tests for Your Network - The Pyvern Project

Description:
Existing free network configuration management tools tend to focus on either collecting static network configuration (rancid) or pushing out pre-verified snippets of configuration to a set of nominated routers (such as HEAnet's own Bluenet tool), making dynamic configuration in line with expectations. This talk is an introduction to a system which can process router configurations, look for globally-known incorrect states, assess router configuration against site-specific policies, and not incidentally easily provide IPv6 transition checklists.
