🔧 How do routers, switches, and networks really talk to each other?

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of Protocol Testing — where communication rules are verified, packets are inspected, and systems are stress-tested.

🧠 What you’ll learn:

• 📡 What is Protocol Testing and why it’s critical

• 🌐 The difference between Layer 2 (Data Link) and Layer 3 (Network) testing

• 🧪 Real-world examples from VLANs to Spanning Tree Protocol

• ⚙️ Types of protocol testing: Functional, Conformance, Interoperability, and more

• 🛠️ Tools like Wireshark, Scapy, and TTCN-3

• 🚦 Testing metrics: Latency, Bandwidth & Correctness

• 🔬 How protocol analyzers and simulators are used in lab environments

Whether you’re into network engineering, telecom QA, or just curious about how devices speak the same digital language — this episode is your Protocol Testing 101.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to sniff, decode, and test your way through real-world communication systems.
