Vinay,

GKS is right. There are no free tools available (and I've been testing OSPF for
almost 10 years). ANVL was the first commericial tool available. Others
have tried and mostly failed, although Spirent (Netcom/Adtech) and Ixia
have added OSPF conformance tests recently.

In fact, just a few months ago, Ixia bought the ANVL software.
