Available Verification Tools
MIB validation
- Web interface to libsmi tools This is a web interface to the smilint, smistrip, and smidump tools. For many people, this is probably much more convenient compared to installing libsmi locally or using the email interface.
- MIB review tools Smilint and smicng at www.ops.ietf.org
- Index of MIBs Index of MIBs from RFCs and I-Ds
- Extracted MIBs Bill Fenner's repository of MIBs
- MIB Samples Bill Fenner's linted MIBs from I-Ds
ABNF validation
- Bill Fenner's ABNF parsing web service
- APG - an ABNF Parser Generator
- ABNF to Regexp converter
- ABNF parsing web service (has problems with some inputs)
- Eustathius - a set of programs to test ABNF grammars by parsing them and generating texts which obey the grammar.
- abnfgen - Given an ABNF grammar, abnfgen quickly generates lots of random documents that match that grammar.
- Harald Alvestrand's perl ABNF parser (Warning: This tool is no longer maintained and has problems, for instance with case mapping)
Message validation
- msglint RFC 822/MIME/DSN/MDN/Tracking-Status message validator
Draft validation
- idnits Henrik Levkowetz' I-D Nits tool
